The Ghana Boundary Commission (GhBC) has noted that several international boundary pillars, established over time, have been displaced due to natural occurrences and other environmental conditions.
The Commissioner General of the GhBC, Major General Dr. Emmanuel Wekem Kotia, underscored the urgency of reaffirming these boundaries.
He explained that this process would entail public awareness campaigns, reaching agreements with neighboring nations on pillar coordinates, and installing new markers, including primary, secondary, and border-crossing boundary posts.
During a media interaction following a courtesy visit to the Minister of Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim, Major General Dr. Kotia pointed out that several districts grappling with boundary-related concerns are located along international frontiers.
He emphasized the necessity of collaboration and urged affected districts to engage with the GhBC to address these challenges effectively.
He further noted that such collaborative efforts would uplift livelihoods, rejuvenate communities, and dispel perceptions of marginalization. Ultimately, he stressed, this initiative would contribute to long-term economic stability and enhance the well-being of communities in affected regions
