In a goodwill message signed by the Director-General of the Bureau, Dr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Esq., the organisation said the five years of Ogiame Atuwatse III’s reign had opened a significant chapter in the history of the Iwere people.
According to the Bureau, the Olu has combined ancestral wisdom, intellectual depth and modern vision with a strong commitment to the welfare and advancement of his people.

The organisation also praised Ogiame Atuwatse III for promoting Itsekiri history, culture and identity while ensuring that the heritage of the Iwere people remains relevant in a rapidly changing global environment.
The Bureau noted that the monarch’s efforts to unite Itsekiris at home and in the diaspora had strengthened cultural consciousness and projected the Warri Kingdom on the international stage.
It further described the Olu as a bridge-builder and symbol of peace whose diplomacy and commitment to dialogue had reinforced the role of traditional institutions in promoting peaceful coexistence and sustainable development.
The presence of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at the fifth coronation anniversary celebration was also described by the Bureau as evidence of the enduring respect and cordial relationship between the state government and the Warri throne.
