Presidents of Recreation Clubs in Nigeria, on Friday gathered at the Business Club Ikeja (BCI) to discuss contributions of the clubs to the Nigerian economy at a public lecture organised by Clubsworld, the online media for social and sporting clubs in Nigeria.
The public lecture held alongside the unveiling of the blog, clubsworld.net, in the hall of BCI.
President of Business Club Ikeja, Chief Tajudeen Akande, who was the Guest Lecturer, advanced the role of recreation clubs in Nigeriaβs economic development, saying it has become an essential factor in improving the health and well being of individuals and contributing massively to the nationβs GDP.
Past and current presidents of recreation clubs and captains of industry attended the event. They included President of Lagos Country Club, Arc. Funmi Bamkole, Chairman of Ikoyi Club, Mr. Ademola Mumuney, President of Ikeja Club, Chief Ayodeji Randle, former President of Island Club, Otunba Kehinde Shitta and former Presidents of Lagos Country Club, Chief Kayode Moradeyo and Chief Olayinka Ogunmekan.
Akande who spoke on the theme: How Recreation Clubs Can Contribute to the Economy, listed the factors of economic growth that the clubs impact on to include good policies, human capital, investments and production, Public Private Partnership and Political stability. He said social clubs have helped in promoting inter-ethnic and interracial understanding.
Akande who is also the immediate past President of Lagos Country Club emphasized that social clubsβ members, through their various businesses, contribute massively to the national economy.
He said one of the objectives of the social clubs is social interaction of members which enhances their wellbeing and longevity.
Apart from the opportunity to build new friendships, explore personal interests, members of social clubs are able to influence policy and appointment because of their direct access to decision makers.
He said: βThe infrastructure provided by social clubs enables members to exercise, so they become physically fit, healthier which gives them longevity, in which case they are able to contribute in the production in terms of availability of labour.
βAlso, the profile of membership is such that they have direct access to decision makers and through that, they are able to influence policies, they are also able to influence appointment. These are some of the ways that social clubs contribute to the economy.
βTheir various businesses contribute to the economy and we are saying the membership of these recreation clubs, because of the calibre of members and their business networks, the contribution to the national economy in terms of GDP is massive.β
Editor-in-Chief of Clubsworld.net, Sanya Onayoade said the theme of the public lecture was influenced by the current economic challenges being faced by the country and the need for recreation clubs to play a vital role in building the economy. Members of the clubs are the elite, captains of industry businessmen who are doing well in their fields and whose ideas are needed for policy makers and those handling the Nigerian economy.
He said: βRecreation clubs in Nigeria are populated by the elite, captains of industry, renowned economists and many professionals who have the knowledge about economic indices for growth, and this platform is aimed at exploiting that avenue.β
He noted that clubsworld.net is one-stop shop networking platform for the Recreation Community in Nigeria.

β’ Human factors = The quantity of labour is important. Population will be an important part of the development of many of the economies.
The net population increase figure (births – deaths + migration) will be an important factor as it is this that determines the growth rate of the population – the quantity of labour as a resource.
⒠Physical capital and technological factors = availability of capital and Investment⦠Entrepreneurship
