COMPANY NIGERIA LIMITED, LAGOS -NIGERIA.
Mr.

the younger generation for over a decade now. He is a graduate of Civil/Structural Design Engineering and have worked in Steel
Structural Engineering companies both of Bendel and Lagos States after completing his
Engineering
education and the National Youth Service Corp programme in 1978 and 1979 respectably. He rose through the post of Engineer-In-Training,
Structural Engineer/Estimator, Technical Manager and General Manager before resigning to look after his own companies. Mr.
Akinrolabu is a born Administrator and a good leader of men who have always held leadership positions in all the Institutions
he has been privileged to attend. Perhaps, his almost five years as a Personnel Officer in the Nigerian Ports Authority has
added to his ability to administer the affairs of men.
The desire
to be of service to his fellow youths was responsible for the formation and the eventual registration of PalmGate Global Ventures
Inc over 7 (seven) years ago. Among the achievements of the Enterprises are: - The establishment of a Technical
Institute
in Benin City to coach workers for the WAEC Technical Certificate & C&G
London Certificate,

countries. He also owns a Structural Steel Construction Company in Lagos.
The
latest establishment of the youth forum "The National 18-30 Holidays Club" is the greatest innovation of it all
as it is expected to bring together over 30,000 Nigerian youths under the same umbrella-Love, Unity and Progress. I congratulate
those of you that are likely to be in the ship that Mr. R B. Akinrolabu is going to pilot. One thing I can assure you of is

THE NATIONAL HOLIDAYS CLUB
Proprietor's Note
The
idea about the formation of a National Club for the youth came to me over
5(five) years ago but
try as much as I did it was not easy to come by any workable mode of achieving this noble aim. Despite this early setback
and the eventual economic recession, I have continued the search for ideas even from oversea countries. Thanks to
Almighty God that I am able to achieve the aim by the formal lunching of ‘The National
1
8-30 Holiday Club" throughout the length and breadth of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The youth is the main theme
of this Club with ways to make them happier, make them realize the joy of their youth and enjoy every bit of it as the major
concern of the Club. This is the first Club of its type in Nigeria and will for a long time to come continue to playa leading
role that other tiny clubs will look forward to for inspirational ideas. ..
'The
National 18-30 Holidays Club" will cater for youths Recreations, Holidays, I
Social activities,
long distance friendship, long lasting companionship, Tourism and expeditions among others. It is an open secret that most
Nigeria youths are only conversant with their immediate surroundings -village, town or city of their birth, they therefore
have no opportunity of knowing their country in and out For those in this category, the gate to know is now open, I hope they
will endeavour to enter.
I personally welcome you to "The
national Holidays Club" and wish you the best Please count on the effective, efficient and personalized service that
Ion behalf of PalmGate Global Ventures Inc is promising you from now on. I have never been associated with failure or inefficiency
in my over 10 years of post graduation working experience and I promise that you will never regret your joining this Club.
Welcome.
Yours sincerely,
