Nigerian Society of Victoria Inc

Dr Razaq Balogun
President                           

I have been involved with the Nigerian Society of Victoria for approximately 15 years. I have great passion for my community and I believe in social interaction and community integration, hence my interest to become the President after a six month tenure as the Chairperson of the Caretaker Committee between July 2009 and February 2010. My commitment now is to serve my community to the best of my ability and to empower our youths and engage them so that they can contribute to determination of the future. Professionally, I work as the Nutrition and Technical Services Manager with a company located in South West Victoria, Australia.  I hold a Doctorate degree in Animal Nutrition from the University of New England, New South Wales.

I am the General Secretary of NSV and have always been involved in community development and group volunteer work. I am a registered psychiatric nurse as well as a general nurse. I live with my young family in  Shepparton. My aim of joining the executive arm of this association is to contribute in a small way to bring about the change we all believe in. My greatest passion is doing my own bit to help humanity. If you live in Victoria and beyond, then this association belongs to you. Let us all come together and build it.
