Dr. Arase noted that the outgoing Commissioners jointly lifted and positioned the Commission where "it stands today despite the challenges and characteristic conflict between the Commission and the Nigerian Police".
He added that the Permanent Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Ifeoma Adaora Anyanwutaku had, in his remarks at the ceremony, said that their legacy for the Commission "is quite commendable and cannot be erased in the history of the Commission; you have left indelible marks in the Commission, never to be forgotten".
