We see that same sense of duty reflected in The Guardian’s work,” he said.Founded 76 years ago, the Lagos Country Club remains one of Nigeria’s most respected and enduring recreational establishments. With more than 2,000 active members, the Club prides itself on offering a wholesome, family-friendly environment—distinct from nightlife-focused clubs.

These include a large-scale induction of new members on **November 30**, expected to attract nearly 1,000 attendees; a special **Elders’ Night** featuring top table tennis icons such as Quadri Aruna and Bode Abiodun; and a celebratory event honouring members aged 70 and above.
