HRM Asagba Azinge appreciated the communities for their warm reception and thanked all those who came out in numbers to receive him and his entourage. 

He stated that both communities are an integral part of Asaba and that's why he appointed Ogbueshi Adim Onochie and Ogbueshi Dada Okolo to become Anya Asagaba in both communities and urged residents to respect and obey them and the traditions of Ahaba knowing fully well that the land have blessed them so much. 

Asagba Azinge addressed the communities' concerns about governmental developments, assuring them that Chief Patrick Ukah's presence during his visit indicates the state government's awareness of their needs.

He cautioned that some structures may need to be demolished to pave the way for development projects, urging residents to support the government and Asaba Kingdom in attracting positive change.

HRM Asagba Azinge renamed the Bonsaac Community to Ajaji Layout, Asaba, citing his authority as the prescribed authority and Asagba of Asaba. 

He instructed Ogbueshi Dada Okolo and Ogbueshi Adim Onochie to display "THIS IS AJAJI LAYOUT" notices at all community entrances within the next one week.
