The meeting also agreed, in a six-point communiqué, to resume documentation on the outstanding consensus sectors of the boundary by the joint field team on Tuesday, November 15.
Speaking at the commencement of the event, Ebonyi State Deputy Governor, Dr. Kelechi Igwe, charged the National Boundary Commission (NBC) to expedite action in the demarcation of the boundaries of the state with its neighbours.
Igwe, chairman of the State Boundary Committee, also urged the meeting to chart the way forward and provide timelines for the outstanding activities in the boundary areas.
"It should be a meeting to strike on issues and hit the ground running; it shouldn’t be a meeting to come and start arguments on issues we have talked about for many years." "The meeting should set a timeline for the delivery of previous resolutions," the Ebonyi deputy governor said.
Also, his Enugu counterpart, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, expressed delight that the meeting was discussing matters on the Ebonyi/Enugu boundary that had been stalled for a long time.
Ndiigboworldwide learned that the joint field team monumented 49 of the expected 146 primary pillars in the consensus sectors of the boundary during the 2021 field exercise.
