For instance, Eregare constructed a conference Hall at ijanikin police Divisional Headquarters that was officially commissioned by the then, commissioner of police CP Aderanti, now AIG in charge of Zone1 AIG. Aderanti who commended the effort of Eregare regretted that it was not in his purview and jurisdiction to promote, otherwise he would have unilaterally promoted Eregare on the spot, while urging other DPOs at the ceremony to emulate Eregare and promised to recommend him for promotion.

Eregare has always been described as a man who is highly respected and esteemed by his subordinates in all the Divisions he managed as DPO before his recent retirement.

Recall that, back home in Agbon kingdom of Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta state, Eregare was conferred with the highest traditional title of Okakuro in recognition of his selfless service and support to humanity and his magnanimity to the youths and Urhobo nation in general. According to sources, the Okakuro title gives him the green light to join the league of the highest title holders in Agbon kingdom and also holds the title of Odeyovwi of Agbon kingdom.

Finally, the police community has described Eregare as a man who is humble with sense of decorum. He is approachable and accessible without any form impediments, in other words, he was known for operating an open door policy without any form of discrimination during his days as police officers.
