The conference which was well attended by sons and daughters of Agbor Kingdom including the Board of Trustee among other groups had Mr. Onyeche commended for demonstrating competence in his leadership thus far as Ag. President.
Mr. Larry Onyeche who with all sense of humility and gratitude to God welcomed all the participants to the conference as the day seemed to be the first time of his seeing some of the illustrious sons and daughters of the kingdom. He thanked them for honouring him as well as travelling far and near to attend the conference.
He appreciated them for the cooperation his administration has enjoyed particularly the hospitality shown to his executive during their tour of communities and urged them to keep the flag flying.

Among the achievements as listed include the familiarization visits to villages/towns, registration of the Union with the CAC, Constitution and the Board of Trustees, building/furnishing of the Agbor Area Command, approval of military base, WhatsApp forum, voters registration and skill acquisition.
