“I must appreciate most especially our revered elders both serving and retired for their significant leadership roles, and my profound gratitude goes to all past presidents and their Executive members for the solid Foundation laid which is sailing us through all challenges we face as an Association.

“I cannot but salute the steadfastness, commitment and dedication of all the GMs, HLGAs, Directors, Deputy Directors and entire members of this association for their unflinching support and cooperation at all times and I acknowledge the tremendous initiatives that were undertaken by the outgoing president, San. Sunday Olufemi Ola and the rest of us who served with him.

“I will not end my speech without appreciating our South-West President, Dr Sanitarian Akinwumi Isaac Temitope and his executive members as they were fully on ground to observed the event from the beginning”.

While speaking, the EHOAN’s South-West President, Dr Akinwumi congratulated the first female President of the association and her executive.
