The Island Club is one of the oldest multinational clubs in Nigeria.[1] Established on Friday, October 29, 1943, in Lagos Island, the club began as a cosmopolitan club comprising members of different nationalities, races, religions and political orientations. Adeyemo Alakija was the first president.[2][3][4] The Island Club started with 50 Nigerians and foreign gentlemen, one of whom included the British Governor-General of Nigeria, Sir Arthur Richards.[5] In its early stages of development, the club included such members of the Lagosian elite as politicians, lawyers, captains of industry, soldiers and other professionals.
