At a recent oversight visit to the commission's headquarters in Enugu State, Kalu expressed satisfaction with the progress made by the commission since their previous meetings. He urged the management to continue this positive momentum and extend the commission's initiatives to various communities within the South-east. Kalu also expressed optimism about the commission's operations, noting that the resolution of previous disagreements regarding its location in Enugu has led to significant improvements.
