Celebrating Our Heritage, Building Our Future
Esan Community Association in the UK
On the 3rd of February 1991, a vision was born among Esan men and women living in the United Kingdom: to create a strong, unified community dedicated to preserving our rich cultural roots. This vision became the Esan Community Association United Kingdom (ECA-UK).
Our Mission
We are your common ground—a dedicated space where Esan people across the UK can meet, connect, and deliberate on issues that matter most to our community, both here in the United Kingdom and back home in Nigeria.
The ECA-UK serves as the central hub for the Esan diaspora in the UK
Our mission is to maintain and celebrate the vibrant cultural heritage of the Esan people and foster a strong, supportive community base for all Esan people residing in the United Kingdom.
