The Eko Heritage Foundation (EHF), formerly known as the Eko Youth Congress (EYC), has elected Wale Salawe as its new President. The Foundation is a socio-cultural body of hardworking and dedicated indigenes of Eko (Lagos), providing a unique platform for professionals to unite in promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the State, while advancing the vision of a greater Lagos.

Wale Salawe, a retired banker, entrepreneur, and politician, will bring his wealth of experience, passion for leadership and community development to enhance the portfolio of the foundation.

In his acceptance remarks, he expressed profound gratitude to Almighty God, members of the Foundation, past leaders, and the Electoral Committee for their trust and support.

Salawe commended the election process, acknowledging its credibility.

The new President urged his fellow executives to rise above personal interests, embrace unity, and prioritize service in the best interest of Lagos.

He said, “There is a time for politics and a time for governance. Politics must now give way to governance.”

Salawe, however, pledged, as a servant-leader, to work with all members to take the EHF to greater heights while contributing positively to the progress and development of Lagos State.

Some of the newly elected principal officials of EHF are as follows:
• Alhaja Kehinde Fashola – Vice President
• Sunkanmi Ope – Secretary

The Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives and programmes that enhance the welfare of Lagosians, promote access to quality education, and improve the overall standard of living for all Lagosians.
