DR CHETACHI ECTON IN

DISTINGUISHED PASSION FOR HUMANITY

GETS U.S. PRESIDENTIAL AWARD

Chief Dr Chetachi Nwoga Ecton

 is the Chief Executive Officer of When In Need Foundation an organisation where she meets the needs and yearnings of the downtrodden, afflicted and vulnerable. 

She is a distinguished conveyor of mercy whose passion and commitment to helping the needy over the years have involved support around areas of agriculture, provision of shelter, health care, support for orphanages, the aged, internally displaced camps, schools and other forms of educational attainment.

The contagious smile alone that she spreads to anybody who has encounter with her leaves indelible mark of refreshing ever before having access to what she does to make life worth living for those who hang around her for support.

As a Nigerian from the diaspora she strongly believes that Nigerians around the world can in numerous ways contribute to the development of the country if they are given the opportunity and encouragement to be involved.

Her quest to lift people out of their burdens led to her recent establishment of Kay Medicare Hospital in the heart of Abuja where she gives succour to individuals and groups who cannot afford expenses associated with health care.

Dr Ecton was recently conferred with Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her service to the United States by President Joe Biden. 

The Award was presented during the 2022 African and Caribbean International Leadership Conference and Awards Gala held at the National Press Club, Washington DC.

She has many royal titles and recognitions which inspite of their array are not yet commensurate with what she does in the lives of people.
