Rotary International District 9110 has unveiled the Managing Director of Shuga Entertainment and lead singer of the award-winning Shuga band, Akinloye Tofowomo, alias Akin Shuga as ambassador of the club’s polio eradication campaign. The entertainment mogul, a polio survivor, despite being physically challenged, has provided empowerment to physically challenged persons through his Akin Shuga Foundation, to enable them function and live independently. He was recently honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his remarkable contributions to the growth of the music industry. Receiving the recognition, Akin said it is a personal honour to lead the campaign, having being a victim of the disease, which has left him paralyzed. He said to still be at the point of eradication is challenging for countries like Nigeria, India, and Pakistan.
