The Association of Esan Professionals (AEP), is a socio-cultural and nonpartisan body, established in February 2001; made up of distinguished Esan sons and daughters who are accomplished professionals, and have excelled in various fields of human endeavor. These Esan sons and daughters are united in confronting the challenge of liberating their motherland from the vicious cycle of poverty, illiteracy and under development.
