LAGOS JUNE 30TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The nationwide Scouting family, alongside international partners, has united to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Zack Ekanola, JP, the Chief Commissioner of The Scout Association of Nigeria (TSAN).
Leading a massive movement of over three million young people, Dr. Ekanola is being widely celebrated for his rare blend of forward-thinking vision, profound humility, and dedication to preserving and modernizing Nigerian Scouting.
Under Dr. Ekanola’s dynamic leadership, TSAN—an organization founded in 1916—has undergone a major structural and cultural renaissance to remain relevant to modern youth. His tenure has been defined by groundbreaking innovations that have transformed the Scouting landscape in Nigeria, including:

Beyond structural reforms, Dr. Ekanola is widely recognized for his empathetic approach to governance. Members of the Association credit his steady, listening-first leadership style as a vital source of stability during times of institutional transition.
“Dr. Ekanola embodies the very essence of the Scout Promise—living a life dedicated to Duty to Others,” a senior TSAN representative remarked. “Whether mentoring a young Cub Scout or advocating for volunteer leaders at the highest levels, his actions are always infused with kindness.”
In an official birthday tribute, the Scout family expressed deep gratitude for his continuous sacrifices and revolutionary vision:
