Our mission is to leverage the depth of our elite network and expertise to transform the industrial landscape of Ibadanland and influence public policy for the greater good of our people, city, and state. Our membership is the largest concentration of highly educated Ibadan sons: reputable businessmen, entrepreneurs, senior executives, and professionals across various sectors of the Nigerian economy and the diaspora. For us, giving back to society is not just a goal - it is the core of our identity and everything we do. Our Legacy: Over Two Decades of Impact The Club was founded over two decades ago, born from the pioneering efforts and vision of Chief Adeyemi Soladoye (Ekerin Baameto of Ibadanland) , our founding president, and other committed foundation members. Over the years, the club has grown into a significant force, continually attracting seasoned professionals, technocrats, accomplished businessmen, and administrators. Beyond fostering business and social networking among members, JBC fulfills its mandate through the successful execution of impactful developmental and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects across Ibadanland Key Developmental and CSR Initiatives Our commitment to Ibadanland is demonstrated through flagship projects in education, health, and economic empowerment: �� Education and Human Capital Development: Establishment of a Scholarship Trust Fund and the award of scholarships to brilliant but indigent Ibadan scholars. We have also donated computers and established the JBC Computer Centre. �� Health and Wellness: Rehabilitation and upgrade of healthcare and maternity centers across the Ibadan metropolis. �� Community Infrastructure: Sinking of motorized water boreholes at various locations within the city to ensure access to clean water. �� Economic Empowerment: Establishment of empowerment programs for artisans and small-scale business owners. The Scholarship Scheme: Investing in Human Capital The Club awards annual scholarships to brilliant but indigent Ibadan scholars enrolled in various higher institutions across Nigeria. Our scheme is a powerful commitment to cultivating strong and virile human capital, creating a generation of indigenes dedicated to paying it forward, not just to Ibadanland, but also to humanity at large. Our alumni scholars have graduated in critical fields, including Medicine & Surgery, Engineering, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Agriculture, Education, Pure & Applied Sciences, and the Humanities. Empowerment of Artisans and Small-Scale Businesses Through our robust Micro-Credit Scheme, we have provided crucial financial assistance, totaling over N305.6 million, to 3,338 beneficiaries and counting. This scheme is professionally managed in partnership with Seedvest Microfinance Bank Limited. The support is primarily directed at small-scale business owners, with a focus on empowering women in areas like trading, fashion design, farming, food vending, and various artisanal crafts. Healthcare Intervention Our interventions have significantly benefited local Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs). We improve health outcomes by providing essential infrastructure, including motorized boreholes for water supply, generators for reliable power, renovation of dilapidated structures, and the provision of beddings and vital medical supplies to institutions such as �� Oke-Aremo Hospital, Ibadan. �� Oniyanrin Comprehensive Health Centre. �� Primary Health Centre, Isale Osi. �� Primary Health Centre, Iyana Court, Ile-Tuntun. Water for Life Project As a cornerstone of our social responsibility, the "Water for Life Project" constructs motorised boreholes across all eleven local government areas in Ibadan. This initiative is designed to provide access to clean, fresh water, combat waterborne diseases, and is strategically focused on schools and their immediate communities. Beneficiary secondary schools that have received commissioned boreholes include: �� Community High School, Lagudu, Akala Expressway, Apata. �� Liberty Academy, Odo-Ona, Elewe. �� Orogun Grammar School, Orogun. �� Community Secondary School, Olaogun, Old Ife Road. �� Community High School, Sawia, Ogbere Road. �� Ibadan Christ Apostolic Grammar School 2 Aperin. �� Grammar School Ogegegun. �� Oke Bola Comprehensive High School Oke Bola. �� Olopomewa Community Grammar School in addition to those listed, numerous other schools and communities have benefited from our schemes across the administrations of various past executives. Anchoring Ibadan's Intellectual Discourse Since our inception, JBC has been pivotal in organizing, funding, and anchoring the Annual Townhall. This event serves as the key intellectual component of the yearly Ibadan Week, conducted under the auspices of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII). As a club, we remain steadfastly committed to expanding our impact, driven by the strong support of our dedicated members, friends, and partners. The Theme of this year Socio-Economic Summit is “Future-Ready Oyo State: Tech, Talent, and Transformation for a Thriving Tomorrow” This year’s theme was built on the success of the 2 nd JBC Socio-Economic Summit which was on Powering Oyo State for Industrialization and Economic Development that dovetailed into discussions about sustainable, constant and affordable electricity in Ibadanland and Oyo State. Obviously, Technology and Digital Transformation for effective optimization of critical resources and talents for socio-economic development of Oyo State should be next, hence the Theme. BC as the leading light of promoting economic development of Ibadanland and Oyo State, our Annual Socio-Economic Summit fits perfectly well into the vision of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa 1 which is Economic Revival of Ibadanland. As a socio club with high quality Professionals, Businesspersons and Technocrats we will always leverage our collective Social and Economic Capital to mobilize resources for both the development of Ibadanland and members of the Club. Notwithstanding the caliber of Professionals in JBC we, in line with the aim of the Club and the founding fathers, will always network with like-minded professionals of Ibadan extractions and others for the purpose of mutual economic development that can impact public policy discourse for the benefit of our people in Ibadanland and Oyo State. In addition to the Future-Ready Youth Digital Bootcamp that offers hands-on training in digital skills, workplace readiness and entrepreneurial thinking to shape the minds of the participating Youths in this era of disruptive Technologies and Artificial Intelligence the sub-thematic areas for this 3 rd Socio-Economic summit are: Technological Disruption and Welfare Evolution; Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship; Education and Skills for the future; Policy and Governance in the Digital Age OPENING REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE JERICHO BUSINESSMEN CLUB, IBADAN AT THE CLUB’S 3 rd ANNUAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC SUMMIT His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. ‘Seyi Makinde; His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Sen.)
