Dare Adeyeri, former President of the Rotary Club of Lagos, has launched his book entitled, “Go Giver” at a high-profile event in Lagos where he also marked his 60th birthday.
In this thought-provoking book, Adeyeri, in a statement reflects on the profound impact of giving—whether material or non-material—and the fulfilment it brings to both the giver and receiver. He emphasises that giving creates a better world, with the act of giving being closely tied to receiving.

Adeyeri describes “Go Giving” and “Go Giver” as concepts that challenge the popular notions of “go-getting” and being a “go-getter”.
He argues that while ambition and drive are essential, true success comes from selflessly giving and making a difference in the lives of others.
He explains that giving can take many forms beyond money, such as offering help, time, or even a simple smile. Active givers, as he calls them, do not wait for opportunities to give—they seek them out and do so without expecting anything in return.
