The election and inauguration which was held at the state box, Uyo township stadium saw Sports Writing ace, Uwem Ekoh elected as the chairman for a second term and Comrade Enwongoabasi Ituen as his vice chairman while Solomon Bassey assumed the position of Secretary.
THE INK Newspaper, on close observation, witnessed a great and commanding turnout of voters who were believed to be SWAN members. Amidst heavy and tight security around the premises, the aspirants were successfully screened without much interrogation.
The preceding Exco was dissolved minutes before the election proper. The outcome of the election favoured the smart-looking Uwem Ekoh who jumped for joy after the results was announced by the Vice Chairman, South-South sports writer, Justice Udousoro. While taking their oath of office, the newly inaugurated Exco members, were admonished to always place God first in all they do and put in their best to take sports journalism to the next level.
