According to the statement, Kaura paid a familiarisation tour to host communities in Ogu, Rivers, where his team was received by King Nicolas Nimenibo (Amanyanabo Of Ogu).
Kaura said the purpose of the visit was to accord respect and recognition to the highly regarded traditional institution in Ogu community.
He called for peace and security of business enterprises in the host communities.
He told the community how he took over leadership of the authority from his predecessor, Mr Umana Umana, with assurance to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor.
