It was an eventful day filled with lots of sharing and thought-provoking engagements among chapter executives towards moving the National Association of Nigerian Communities UK (NANC) forward and impacting the community positively, as Aylesbury hosts the Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting on Saturday 8th February 2020, at the prestigious Multicultural Centre, Vale, Aylesbury.
The chief host and Chapter lead, Evangelist Lilian Martins welcomed the community leaders from all over the country and reassured them to feel at home in their deliberations.
NANS President, Mr Olanrewaju Fakunle urged the participants to stay focused on the various needs of their immediate constituencies because this marks out NANC as the association that is in direct touch with the grassroots.
