Reps order suspension of demarcation of border communities in Adamawa

An ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives, yesterday, ordered the National Boundary Commission (NBC) to suspend ongoing work on demarcation of the Nigeria-Cameroon border in Adamawa State.

Leader of the committee, Beni Lar, who issued the directive during an interactive session with stakeholders, said the move stemmed from the need to explore avenues for resolving pending issues between communities along the Adamawa State end of the border with Cameroon, and NBC.

The lawmaker, who observed that there was glaring disconnect between authorities of the NBC and the communities, said the committee would embark on a fact-finding mission to get to the root of the matter.
