Governor Ihedioha Inaugurates State Boundary Commission
…Charges them to set standard for peace and security
Imo State Governor, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha CON, has inaugurated the State Boundary Commission, with a charge to set the right standards for peace and security in the state.
The Governor, who stated this during the inauguration of members of the Commission at the Government House, Owerri on Monday, noted that the state is not among the states in the country burdened with crisis arising from boundary issues.
He tasked the members to deploy their wealth of experience in handling issues that may arise. "Luckily as a state we do not have serious crisis with boundary issues, but your duty is to set standards and ensure that where there is a possible conflict, they are nipped in the bud on time. If you notice imminent crisis in any area or between communities, endeavor to apply the right mechanism in resolving such so that peace and security in the state can be fostered".
He further enjoined them to discharge their duties without fear or favour and ensure that they make the state proud in line with the expectations of the people.
Earlier, the Deputy Governor, Engr. Gerald Irona, who is the statutory Chairman of the Commission as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution, pointed that the primary responsibility of the Commission is to mediate in boundary matters within the state
and also interface with the National Boundary Commission on related issues that affect inter-state.
Members of the Commission include: Marshal Okaforanyanwu (Orlu Zone), Allwell Onwuka (Okigwe Zone), Barr. Anayo Aham (Owerri Zone).
Statutory members of the Commission as encapsulated in the National Boundary Act include; Principal Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor who serves as the Secretary, Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Surveyor General of the State, Commissioner of Police in the State, Director Department of State Security, Comptroller Of Immigration in the State, Commissioner for information, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs, Chairman State Council of Traditional Rulers.
