Ahead of BEL Dialogue 2026, members of the organising committee, led by the Chairman of the Advisory Board, Pharm. Paul Enebeli, paid a courtesy visit to the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Epiphany Azinge, seeking the royal father's blessings and support as Asaba hosts one of Nigeria's leading conversations on democracy, governance and institutional accountability.

The visit reflects the Dialogue's commitment to engaging traditional institutions as vital partners in nation-building, underscoring the role traditional rulers continue to play in supporting major civic and governance initiatives hosted within their domains.
