“As leaders of a revered cultural institution, your responsibility goes beyond administration. You are custodians of our heritage and drivers of unity and progress,” the Senator noted, encouraging the EXCO to pursue initiatives that will uplift the community and inspire future generations.

Reaffirming his commitment to the Eggon people, Senator Wadada pledged his continued support for programmes and initiatives that promote peace, unity, and development within the community. He expressed optimism that the newly inaugurated Executive Council would leave a lasting legacy of positive impact during their tenure.
