On Thursday, August 8, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State delivered a keynote lecture at the centenary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club (YTC) in Lagos. Founded in 1926, YTC was established by a group of 25 young Nigerians to provide sporting, recreational, and social facilities for those excluded from the colonial authorities' facilities. The club has grown from 25 members to over 2,000 today and is one of Lagos' most prestigious social clubs, alongside the Ikoyi Club and Ikeja Country Club.

He emphasized that democracy should be measured by the quality of governance it produces and highlighted the responsibility of leaders to preserve democracy and ensure it reaches all aspects of citizens' lives.
Governor Eno's administration has been actively implementing the ARISE Agenda, investing in education, health, youth empowerment, infrastructure, and compassionate homes.
The audience, which included Lagos business leaders, politicians, and leaders from the Akwa Ibom community in Lagos, warmly welcomed Governor Eno. The event provided a platform for the governor to showcase his administration's achievements and engage with the Yoruba Tennis Club members and guests.
