The Ghana Boundary Commission (GhBC) has revealed that numerous international boundary pillars, set up over time, have been displaced due to natural factors and environmental conditions.
Major General Dr. Emmanuel Wekem Kotia, Commissioner General of the GhBC, emphasized the urgency of reaffirming these borders.
He explained that the process would involve public awareness campaigns, negotiating pillar coordinates with neighboring countries, and installing new boundary markers—ranging from primary and secondary posts to border-crossing markers.
Speaking during a media session after a courtesy visit to the Minister of Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim, Major General Kotia highlighted that several districts, particularly those along international borders, are facing challenges related to boundary disputes.
He called for collaboration and urged affected districts to work with the GhBC to address these issues effectively.
He further stressed that these joint efforts would improve livelihoods, strengthen communities, and combat feelings of marginalization. Ultimately, he believes this initiative will foster long-term economic stability and enhance the well-being of communities in the affected areas.
