He urged leaders at all levels of governance in the country to imbibe the culture of Rotary Club International, a social organisation which add value to peoples lives through its watch word, "the four way test."
Chief Falana was speaking at the weekend during the investiture of the new Governor of Rotary Club International District 9110 Mr. Somo Omoniyi at the Muson Centre, Lagos.
He said the Federal Government should come up with measures to eradicate unnecessary spending and ensure adequate provision of infrastructure to make life more meaningful for the teeming poor masses.
Falana congratulated Rotary International for its efforts at improving the society and charged leaders worldwide to borrow a leaf from the organisation which he said had a systematic institutional leadership succession arrangement.
He urged the new District 9110 Governor, Rotn Somo Omoniyi not to relent in his effort but to continue in his activities of providing quality service to the people.
