The pioneer district governor of Rotary District 9127, Mike Ukachi Nwanoshiri, gave the pledge during his inaugural press conference in Abuja.

Nwanoshiri also pledged to increase the membership of the Rotary Clubs in the new District covering all Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from 2000 to over 3000 between July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

He also pledged Rotary’s commitment to ensuring not just youth empowerment but youth impact by assisting them with the tools and necessary funds to set up businesses that will improve their overall economic well-being.

Nwanoshiri said, “We are going to introduce girl child education. It’s a decision. If we don’t do it as their parents, they would not grow well. We talk about mental health? What is the cause of mental health? It is from our parents.

“What training did you give your young girl when she was young? How did you bring her up? We don’t allow them to be lost. If we don’t start treating that issue now, we will have a problem.”
The district governor, who expressed passion for the interest of the girl child, also said he would ensure the provision of reusable sanitary pads for girls across the district.

“First, I have to start with the one I have a marching grant for, which I will make sure it goes all over the district, which is the provision of reusable sanitary pads for the girl child. We would take it up as a serious project this Rotary year.

“We also have to encourage our young girls. They should not be cheap articles in the hands of men. They have to respect themselves, knowing that through them, birth came to the world.

“We teach them not always to depend on men to give them. I know I have some mothers in different clubs who will take that up to make sure we take the project up and make sure by the time they leave at a young age, they will have the experience to have managed themselves.

“We have been talking about youth empowerment, but this time around, I would change the scenario. Now it would be about youth impact.

“As an organisation, we would create an avenue whereby we make sure by the time they finish their schools, they would get something doing and be a man or woman of their own.

“By then, we can ask them to come and join the organisation that helped you do that. That is what I mean by impact. It does not mean giving money to go and eat. We try to empower them to stand independently,” he said.

He urged youths to avoid societal vices but develop themselves and work hard to succeed.
He promised to continue carrying out positively impactful projects and ensure membership growth.
He expressed delight to be the new District Governor of the newly created Rotary District 9127.

“I am excited to lead this vibrant and dedicated community of Rotarians, and I am committed to building on the excellent work of our past Governors.

“Our district, though a brand new one, is rich in diversity, talent, and passion, and I am eager to tap into this collective energy to drive meaningful change in our communities. My vision is to empower our clubs to increase membership, be the vision carriers, and be the magic makers in our district.

“We will focus on Youth Empowerment, Healthcare, Education, Environmental sustainability and the Girl Child Initiative. We will work tirelessly to strengthen our clubs, to enhance our membership experience, and to expand our reach and impact,” he said.
