The attention of the Aviary Club of Nigeria has been drawn to rumours and unverified narratives circulating in relation to Avian OPEYEMI SAUDIQ, a member of the Aviary Club of Nigeria who resides in South Africa and serves as a Chapter Intelligence Officer in one of our chapters in South Africa. Over the past few months, allegations concerning his alleged involvement in a murder case have circulated in various quarters. We wish to state clearly that the matter has been reported to the South African Police Service (SAPS) and is therefore in the hands of the appropriate law enforcement authorities. The Aviary Club of Nigeria strongly appeals to members of the public, our members, and all concerned individuals to refrain from spreading unverified information, making accusations, or taking the law into their own hands. Matters of this nature should be allowed to follow due process, and the competent authorities should be given the opportunity to investigate and establish the facts. The Aviary Club of Nigeria believes firmly in law, order, justice, and due process. We will cooperate fully with the South African Police Service and any other relevant law enforcement agency within the bounds of the law to ensure that the matter is properly investigated. At the same time, we recognise that every person accused of an offence is entitled to due process and the opportunity to defend themselves before the law. We therefore urge everyone to allow the authorities to carry out their responsibilities without interference, intimidation, or the spread of potentially defamatory narratives. We call on all members of the Aviary Club of Nigeria to remain calm, responsible, and law abiding, and to direct any credible information relevant to the case to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities. The Aviary Club of Nigeria remains committed to justice, accountability, peace, and the rule of law.

Aviary Club of Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to brotherhood, community service and responsible membership, as it marked its 30th anniversary with charity outreaches across Nigeria and in the diaspora. Speaking during the anniversary celebration, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Abimbola Shittu, said the club had evolved from a university-based advocacy group into an organisation focused on personal development, mentorship and humanitarian activities. According to him, members of the club carried out charity projects to commemorate the anniversary, including visits to orphanages, motherless babies’ homes, homeless shelters and veterans’ centres, while others distributed food items and financial support to vulnerable persons in communities. He noted that although the club began as a student movement involved in public debates and advocacy on issues affecting campuses, its focus had shifted towards self-development, networking and community impact. “Our focus today is self-improvement, community service and building meaningful connections that positively impact society.” Shittu said the club seeks to correct misconceptions about its activities, describing it as a non-governmental organisation that promotes advocacy, public debates, current affairs and community development. He added that the organisation maintains a strict membership process, including background checks, to ensure only individuals of proven character and integrity are admitted. In his anniversary address, the Akete Regional President, Yomi Lawal, described the occasion as a celebration of 30 years of brotherhood, advocacy, charity and community service, saying the club’s achievements were built on friendship, selfless service and a commitment to making society better. Lawal commended the club’s founders, elders and members for sustaining its vision over the past three decades. He urged members to remain committed to mentoring younger members, strengthening friendships and promoting peace, integrity and excellence in their communities. “Thirty years is a celebration of friendship, selfless service and our commitment to building a better society.” Also speaking, a member of the club and President of the Akete Region, Dr. Ajayi Olaseni, described the anniversary as a significant milestone, saying the organisation had remained united despite challenges over the years. He said the regional chapter, established about seven years ago, had continued to grow and expressed optimism about its future.

International Youth Day 2026: "Different Contexts, Common Aspirations" How the Aviary Club of Nigeria is Building Youth Who Lead With Purpose Today the world marks International Youth Day 2026 under the United Nations theme: "Different Contexts, Common Aspirations". The theme recognizes that while young people’s lives are shaped by different national and local realities, their aspirations are remarkably similar: dignity, opportunity, meaningful participation, decent work, quality education, and a sustainable future. It also places special attention on youth in communities facing overlapping challenges, while celebrating their resilience, leadership, and innovation. For the Aviary Club of Nigeria, this theme speaks directly to the heart of who we are: an organization built on brotherhood, service, and the belief that strong institutions are built by strong people. 1. Common Aspirations, Shared Responsibility Across all our chapters, our young members are pursuing the same goals highlighted by the UN: quality education, decent work, and a chance to lead. That is why the Club established the tuition fund ensuring that loss does not cut short a family’s aspirations especially for the family of a distinguished member. 2. Leadership and Meaningful Participation The UN calls for meaningful participation of young people. At the Aviary Club, we do not wait for tomorrow to hand young people leadership. We equip them today. Within the club structure, Young leaders are already at the table making decisions, managing funds, and serving communities. Their voices shape policy and promote our shared vision. 3. Resilience, Innovation, and Service This year’s theme highlights youth resilience and innovation in advancing sustainable development. The values of the Aviary Club of Nigeria (Compassion, Responsibility, Integrity, and Brotherhood) demand that same spirit. Whether it is supporting vulnerable families, mentoring the next generation, or driving community projects, our young Avians are showing that service is the highest form of leadership. Like youth globally, they are building solutions from the ground up. 4. Building a Sustainable Future Together “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations” reminds us that global progress starts with local action. The Aviary Club of Nigeria aligns with this by investing in people first through Educational schemes and Welfare programmes. True leadership is about laying foundations that outlive us. That is the future we are building with our youth: one of dignity, opportunity, and sustainable impact. Our Commitment On this International Youth Day, the Aviary Club of Nigeria reaffirms its commitment to empowering young people. We will continue to provide platforms for learning, leadership, and service, because when young people thrive, communities thrive. To every young Avian: Your voice, ideas, and leadership matter. Your context may be different, but our aspiration is one and that is ensuring a stronger Club, a stronger Nigeria, and a better future for all around the globe.

The Aviary Club of Nigeria has once again demonstrated its commitment to welfare, unity, and integrity with the presentation of the annual tuition support cheque to the family of Late Avian Tope Dada. The gesture reflects the Club’s enduring values of compassion, responsibility, and brotherhood that bind members together as one family. The support is in direct fulfillment of a resolution passed by the Supreme Council in 2023, shortly after the passing of Late Avian Tope Dada. The Council established a dedicated tuition fund for his children, with a binding commitment to provide financial assistance annually until they complete their tertiary education. This decision was made to ensure that the family of a distinguished leader would not be left behind. Late Avian Tope Dada died in 2023, not long after his appointment as the Global Operations Officer of the Club. During his time in office, he was widely respected for his dedication, diligence, and exemplary leadership. His contributions laid a strong foundation for the growth and structure of the organization, and his legacy continues to inspire members across all chapters and regions. The presentation was led by Avian Laide Oyelade, the Global Treasurer of the Aviary Club of Nigeria. He was accompanied by Avian Abayomi Lawal, Regional President, Akete Regional Council; Avian Jide Shokunle, Chapter President, Aso Aviary; and Avian Taiwo Tinuoye, Regional Treasurer, Akete Regional Council. The cheque was received by Mr. Ayo Dada, the documented representative of the Dada family, who will administer the fund on behalf of the family. The delegation emphasized that this support represents a promise kept, not an act of charity. “This is family. We made a commitment following the demise of one of our own, and we will continue to honor it until the last child graduates,” the delegation stated. The words resonated strongly with all present and reaffirmed the Club’s culture of standing by its members. The annual tuition support underscores the Aviary Club of Nigeria’s resolve to honor the legacies of its leaders and to ensure that every promise made by the leadership structure is kept. It is a testament to the organization’s belief that true leadership includes caring for those who served and for the families they leave behind.

Avian Emmanuel Ogieriakhi On behalf of the Aviary Club of Nigeria Media Team, we proudly celebrate and appreciate Avian Emmanuel Ogieriakhi, Chapter President of Lone Star Aviary and Coordinator of the Media Team, a remarkable individual whose dedication, intellect, leadership and commitment continue to make a lasting impact on the organization. Avian Emmanuel is more than a leader, he is a bridge connecting the Global Council with the public, translating ideas into communication, and ensuring that the values, activities and identity of the Aviary Club of Nigeria are properly represented. As a Certified Information Technologist, strategist, team builder and people manager, he brings together technology, communication and leadership with an uncommon sense of responsibility. His ability to coordinate people, manage teams and transform ideas into meaningful results has made him a valuable asset to the Media Team and the wider organization. A Man Who Gives His All One of the qualities that distinguishes Avian Emmanuel is his willingness to invest himself fully in the work. He gives his time, attention, knowledge, resources, finances and skills in pursuit of what he believes is best for the organization. His commitment is not measured by convenience or personal gain, it is demonstrated by his willingness to show up, contribute and ensure that things are done properly. For many who work with him, he can aptly be described as a “human processor” constantly thinking, planning, coordinating, solving problems and moving from one task to another. 24/7, he is active. 24/7, he is thinking. 24/7, he is serving. Chapter President lone star Aviary, Avian Emmanuel Ogieriakhi. A Perfectionist With a Vision Avian Emmanuel is a man who believes that excellence is not an accident. His pursuit of perfection may sometimes demand more from himself and those around him, but it comes from a genuine desire to see the Aviary Club of Nigeria represented at the highest possible standard. His philosophy is simple and powerful: “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” That mindset reflects his approach to leadership. He does not merely see what exists, he imagines what could exist, and then challenges himself and his team to work toward making that vision a reality. A Leader Who Believes in Growth One of the principles that defines Avian Emmanuel is his belief that past actions should never prevent future growth. Having done something before does not mean we cannot review it. Having supported an idea yesterday does not mean we cannot advocate for improvement today. For him, progress requires the courage to evaluate, rethink and, when necessary, challenge established practices. This philosophy represents an important quality of leadership, the willingness to learn, adapt and continuously pursue what is better. The Face of the Aviary Club of Nigeria Through his role in media and public communication, Avian Emmanuel has become one of the recognizable faces associated with the public presentation of the Aviary Club of Nigeria. He understands that communication is more than posting pictures, producing graphics or sharing information. It is about protecting identity, projecting values, telling the organization’s story and building public understanding. As Coordinator of the Media Team, he has demonstrated that effective media leadership requires more than technical knowledge. It requires patience, strategy, people management, creativity, discipline and an understanding of the organization’s vision. A Leader Worth Celebrating Today, we celebrate not only the position he occupies, but the person behind the position. We celebrate the man who gives his time. We celebrate the strategist who thinks beyond the moment. We celebrate the team player who understands the value of people. We celebrate the technologist who understands the power of information. We celebrate the leader who continues to challenge himself and others to become better. We celebrate the perfectionist whose desire for excellence pushes the standard higher. We celebrate the Aviary who believes that the possibilities of tomorrow are greater than the limitations of today.
