The YTC, founded in 1926 by 25 young Nigerians, has grown to over 2,000 members and serves as a prestigious social club in Lagos.
Eno was selected to speak due to his exceptional performance in office and understanding of good governance principles. The event was attended by prominent figures, including former Governor Udom Emmanuel, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and a large delegation from Akwa Ibom State, which included politicians and community leaders.
Eno's lecture opened with reflections on the club's founding in response to colonial segregation, emphasizing the resilience of the Nigerian community in establishing their own social spaces.
