The Director General of the commission, Dr. Isaac Akpoveta, made the call in his office in Asaba, when he played host to the Oyede Traditional Rulers Council, from Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta state.

Dr. Akpoveta thanked the Royal Majesty, the Odio- Ologbo of Oyede kingdom and his entourage for the visit, describing it as historic, as he said it was the first time a traditional ruler was paying a courtesy visit on the commission.
