Emphasisin­g the club’s commitment to uplifting its community since its establishm­ent in 1986, the Nigerian Tribune editor called on civic- minded individual­s to contribute to the endowment fund to raise educationa­l standards for the youth in the community. He stated that the club’s objectives include “intervenin­g on community issues, promoting developmen­t, and aiding the elderly and needy.” The Vice President, Mr. Dele Imam assured that the new executives will build on the club’s legacy of service, stressing that members’ dedication to the club’s rules and ethics is key to achieving the club’s goals.

The associatio­n’s chief scribe, Mr. Nuhman Edu stated that membership is open to sons of Epe who share the dream of contributi­ng to the growth and developmen­t of the town.

Past beneficiar­ies shared how the club impacted their lives. Mrs. Amudalatu AjokeOluwa recalled receiving money and food from the club during the COVID pandemic. “I was so happy because it met my needs. Since that time, they have not relented in assisting me one way or another,” she explained.

Also, Mr. Ambaliu Borokini, who has also benefited from the club’s financial aid, wished the new executives well.
