The President of Benin club 1931, one of the top ten clubs in Nigeria, Bar. Henry Omoregie disclosed this when he played host to Nigeria Association Of Women Journalists, NAWOJ Edo State chapter.
Henry explained that the club is about family, bonding, recreation and sports, hence the building of the clinic for proper health care of members.
“The project which started few months ago, has been completed, equipped, waiting for commissioning. We have also employed nurses that will be on constant duty. A team of medical personnels who are our members have been put together to work on volunteer basis.
“So the case of members slumping while performing any of the recreational activities without help will be a thing of the past immediately the clinic begins full operations.
“We are also going beyond catering for our members. We are providing employment to the teaming populace as we have over 100 workers on our payroll. Some of them have spent over 30 years with us. Recently, we retired Some of the workers who have spent 40years with us with full benefits. So you can see that we are giving back to the society.
