Ogun State Deputy Governor, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele has stressed the need to work out proper modalities for the demarcation of boundary lines to avoid conflicts among people.

She also expressed the need to address other socio-economic issues, including trans-border trade, cross-border integration, and adequate security of Nigerians living at the border areas, noting that only then will their livelihoods be improved.

Salako-Oyedele made the call at a one day workshop, organized by the National Boundary Commission in conjunction with the Oyo State Government, themed “Creation of Platform for Local Border Authorities Along Nigeria-Benin International Boundary” held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The deputy governor, who is the Chairman of the Ogun State Boundary Commission, charged stakeholders vested with border management to accord boundary issues priority attention in affected states and the country at large.

Salako-Oyedele , noted that though , there were government policies that may be of general benefit to the entire country, these policies might be punitive to people in the border communities.
