The Opening was so fascinating and well-orchestrated and flavoured by different rhythms of the Federal Police March band. Honourable guests and signatories attended the opening ceremony and visited the exhibitions. H. E Dr Gedion Timotiwos, FDRE Attorney General, H.E Dr Ergoge Tesfay Minister of Labor and Social Affairs and Mr Jima Dilbo-Director General-ACSO were among the dignitaries who attended the opening ceremony and made brief visits to the exhibition.

The Amharic proverb “ድር ቢያብር አንበሳ ያስር” is super quoted emphasizing the need to collaborate among CSOs, Government and private sectors for maximum benefits.
