If history is a record of past events, successes, challenges and accomplishments, the following presentation of the journey embarked upon by Eko Club Houston since its inception will no doubt provide an accurate of the major accomplishments and the challenges of this Organization since its formation in November 15, 1997.
Established on the 15th of November, 1997, Eko Club Houston’s formation is a brainchild of some Lagosians in Houston who had the vision to establish a forum for all sons and daughters of Lagos to discuss issues germane to the development of our beloved State.
