However, after the inauguration of the new  leadership of the association, Omirin  immediately announced that the  immediate past president ,Mrs  Jibeh Ologeh has been elevated  to the position of a member of BoT of the association to fill the vacuum created following the demise of a former member.

Other BoT members include Chief Opa Williams (Chairman), Agatha Amata and Emeka Ossai.

Also, in her speech, Ologeh thanked EMCOAN members for the support they gave her  while her tenure lasted.
