Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said the ability of the National Boundary Commission to settle disputes and minimise interstate rancour will be greatly assisted by interacting directly with leaders in various states and their thoughts on how best to resolve the issues.
Osinbajo stated this on Monday at a meeting with Deputy Governors and the National Boundary Commission on how best to tackle boundary disputes and to enhance the work of the commission to carry out its responsibilities.
The meeting which was at the instance of the Vice President is to find ways of addressing the numerous boundary disputes and crisis across Nigeria and how to enhance the work of the national boundary commission in resolving the boundary issues.
Osinbajo stated that interstate rancour will be greatly assisted with this interaction that offers the opportunity to jointly review the work of the commission so far.
The Deputy Governor of Edo state Phillip Shuaibu who spoke to newsmen after the meeting said the inability of the National Boundary Commission to properly demarcate various boundaries between state is contributing to the various agitations across the country.
The Deputy Governors in attendance called on the Vice President to sustain the meeting as a way of promoting interaction between states.
