They took the Oath of membership and secrecy.
Togbe Doglo Anumah VI, Paramount Chief of Avenor Traditional Area and the President of the Avenor Traditional Council, congratulated the newly gazetted chiefs and urged them to help promote the development agenda, culture, and customs of Avenor.
He charged them to help champion the needed peaceful coexistence among the people of Avenor
Togbe Dorglo, who is also a member of the National House of Chiefs, stated the new members would be tasked to play some vital roles in decision making processes aimed at bringing progress to the Traditional Area.

Some new members who spoke with the GNA pledged to abide by the regulations and rules of the Council for rapid growth.
Meanwhile, Mr Brian Mosko, a Canadian Philanthropist and Director of ‘The Sky is My Limit’ a Non-Governmental Organisation who was given a chieftaincy title as ‘Togbui Agama Dormenyo l’ for his philanthropic activities such as the construction of several boreholes within the Avenor enclave and beyond, was also sworn in as an honorary member of the Council.
