The tour, which is on the behest of The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli, is done occasionally by the Ologbotsere to ascertain the level of development projects in Itsekiri communities, with a view to making recommendations where necessary and scaling up advocacy that would drive accelerated growth, strategic resettlement and all – round human capital as well as infrastructural development of Itsekiri lands.
