The National Boundary commission has reiterated its commitment in reviewing strategies and management techniques aimed at ensuring effective boundary management in the country.
The Director General of the commission, Mr Adamu Adaji, stated this during the opening ceremony of a one day interactive session with states boundary committees held at Government House Kano.
Adaji said the rising spate of boundary disputes was the main reason the federal government established the commission decades ago with the aim of curtailing the challenge.
He said the objective of interactive session was to discuss with state boundary committees to agree on a veritable framework for strengthening the capacity of boundary managers in the states targeted at achaieving the stated objectives.
The Director General added that the commission had recorded tremendous successes particularly, in the areas of definition of many interstates boundaries in the North-west Zone.
In a remark, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje represented by his Deputy Alhaji Nasir Yusif Gawuna, said the interactive forum was very timely, especially at this era of security challenges bedeviling the economic development of the zone.
He said the North Western states shared much in common as such there was the need to rub minds Together with the aim addressing the boundary challenges in the country.
