He argued that citizens experience democracy beyond election day, stressing that governance must translate into improved living conditions. Eno maintained that restoring public confidence in democratic institutions requires openness, accountability and leadership committed to delivering measurable improvements in citizens’ lives. In his remarks, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, described the Yoruba Tennis Club as one of Nigeria’s foremost social institutions and congratulated the club on its centenary. He thanked Governor Eno for delivering the commemorative lecture and noted that the club’s 100-year anniversary represented not only longevity but also enduring trust and commitment to the ideals of its founding fathers. Earlier in his remarks, Chairman of the Yoruba Tennis Club, Chief Olawumi Gasper, described the celebration as a historic milestone rather than merely a ceremonial event.
