Kogi: Yahaya Bello inaugurates boundary committee to curb insecurity, crisis
The Kogi State Government established the State Boundary Committee to handle all boundary disputes from both within and outside the state as part of efforts to ensure peace and security among the neighbouring states.

At the inauguration of the Kogi State Boundary Committee at the Government House in Lokoja over the weekend, state governor Yahaya Bello revealed this.

According to Bello, the relocation became necessary to preserve serenity and appropriate security both inside and outside Kogi State.

He claimed that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nasarawa, Niger Benue Kwara, Edo, Delta Anambra, Ekiti, and Ondo are among the nine states that round the state.

The governor emphasised that the National Boundary Commission Act of 2006, which gave state governments the authority to create boundary committees in their states, was what allowed the Kogi State Boundary Committee to be established.

In order to maintain the state's peaceful coexistence, he therefore charged the members to do their best.

Bello noted that there had been a boundary dispute between the states of Anambra and Kogi before to the establishment of the current administration in the state, noting that Edward David Onoja, the state's deputy governor, is anticipated to serve as chairman of the Kogi State Boundary Committee.

The Deputy Governor, Onoja, spoke on behalf of the other members and praised Bello for his initiative, pointing out that Kogi State is bound by the most states and that it is predicted that the state will suffer crises and events.

However, he gave the governor his word that all of the Kogi State Boundary Committee members would employ their combined wealth of experience to negotiate any tricky situations that could occur during their work.
