Acting Director General of the Commission, Adamu Adaji told reporters at the commencement of the visit in Adamawa, that concerted efforts have been made to ensure enduring peace in border communities.
“Part of our effort is to ensure peace and we have been visiting several border communities in the country with the message of peaceful co-existence with internal and international neighbours,” he stressed.
