The Committee, Governor Ahmed noted that has submitted it's report ?and has been implemented adding that a Judicial Commission of Enquiry was also set up to determine the extent of damages and suggest how to cushion the effects of the loses ?and has since submitted it's report and white paper on it is under implementation.

He stressed that government has equally followed it up with the constitution of ImplementationReconciliation C?ommittee made up of traditional rulers and other opinion leaders aimed at finding a lasting solution to the dispute.

Earlier, the Director General, National Boundary Commission, Dr Mohammed Ahmad had briefed the ?Governor on the activities and actions taken by the Commission to solve various issues involving the State and it's neighboring States.
