Media Executive, Ralph Tathagata, has said there is no alternative to adoption of ethics in business. He spoke at Rotary Club of Ikeja Cosmopolitan’s event: ‘’Ethics in Business,’’ during District 9111 Governor, Henry Akinyele’s visit.
Tathagata said ethics forms the fulcrum on which society stands and that without it, things would fall apart. He said transparency and accountability are cornerstones of ethics.

Akinyele, who looked at the books of the club, lauded its growth and commitment to the organisation’s obligations.
He hailed club members ‘’for doing the work of Rotary’’. ‘’I am confident you will meet our financial commitments,’’ he said.
