A life given to public good.
Born and raised with a deep sense of responsibility for her community, Adedayo Akin-Taylor Ekong has spent the better part of two decades quietly investing in the people of Eti-Osa — funding scholarships, paying medical bills, training young women in trade, and standing in the gap for families nobody else saw.
As a pastor, she is anchored in faith. As a founder, she has built institutions. As a citizen, she has refused to wait for permission to serve. Her decision to run for the House of Representatives under the Nigeria Democratic Congress is the natural next chapter of a life already given to public good.
She lives in Eti-Osa with her family and worships in the constituency she now seeks to represent.
