The Director General of the National Boundary Commission (NBC), Surv. Adamu Adaji has assured the government of Delta State that the Commission will expediate action in the definition and demarcation of its boundaries with its neighbouring states in order to curb any further boundary disputes between the State and her neighbours.
Adaji gave this assurance when he received the Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Delta State Boundary Committee Sir Monday Onyeme who led a delegation of the State Committee on a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja.
The Director General commended the visiting Deputy Governor for taking the initiative to visit the Commission to request for its urgent intervention in order to curtail likely provocation between the State and its neighbouring States adding that Delta State is one of the few states that have a well established State Boundary Committee which has contributed immensely to a very cordial working relationship between the State and the Commission.
The Director General however expressed his dissatisfaction over the boundary dispute between Delta and Ondo state which has continued to linger despite the efforts of the Commission to restore lasting peace between the two States using both Technical and Political approach.
On the issue of Delta State, the DG stated that it is usually not uncommon to see two sister states who used to share common State disputing over boundary lines after the creation of a new state.
He commended the Delta State government for its commitment and proactive actions to tackle long standing challenges to ensure territorial integrity and peaceful coexistence between her and her neighbours.
He noted that these efforts are a clear indication of the government’s determination to prioritizing the state’s interests and avoiding disruptions to its developmental Agenda.
In his remarks the Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme stated that the visit was predicted on the need for the State Government to be able to deliver to Deltans M.O.R.E in terms of socio-economic development in line with its M.O.R.E Agenda.
According to him the State Governor Hon Sheriff Oborevwori had made the point clearly in his inaugural address that his goal was not only to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor but also to advance the State to greater heights in inclusive economic growth, human capital development, infrastructure renewal, and peace and security.
M.O.R.E is an acronym for Meaningful development through the provision of Opportunities for all through Realistic reforms and Enhanced peace and security for all.The key words are development, opportunities, reforms and peace and security.
Other members of the delegation include the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Lands and Survey Mrs. Gladys Aghogho Puegeren

Suspected bandits have kidnapped retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, former Director of Defence Information, and his wife on Matazu Road in Katsina State.
Security sources told PRNigeria that the couple was ambushed on Saturday morning, May 30, 2026, while travelling in a red Peugeot 504 saloon car.
The gunmen intercepted the vehicle and whisked the retired officer and his wife to an unknown location.
The driver escaped with gunshot wounds and is receiving treatment at a nearby hospital, a security source said.
The former DDI and his wife were waylaid by armed men on the route. The driver escaped with gunshot injuries and is receiving medical attention,” the source stated.
Security forces have launched search-and-rescue operations and deployed intelligence assets to track the abductors, according to the source. Official confirmation from the military was still pending at press time.
—Rising concern in Katsina—
The abduction comes amid persistent insecurity in parts of Katsina despite ongoing military operations against bandit groups in the North-West.
In recent years, several serving and retired security personnel have been targeted on highways linking Katsina to neighbouring states. PRNigeria reports that criminal groups now see high-profile individuals, including retired military officers, as lucrative targets.
Maj-Gen Abubakar served as Director of Defence Information and was one of the Nigerian military’s most visible spokespersons during the counterinsurgency campaign against Boko Haram.
The incident is expected to renew calls for stronger security along major highways and rural communities in Katsina, where residents continue to face kidnapping and banditry.

Abia State Police Command has nabbed two suspects for conspiracy, attempted child theft and possession of hard drugs.
The Command which made this known on Saturday, named the suspects as Nzubechi Chinagorom and Chinonso Chibundu, indigenes of Olokoro, Umuahia South LGA of the Abia State.
In a statement signed by DSP Maureen Chinaka, the Police Public Relations Officer, the Command said its officers apprehended the suspects through actionable intelligence, in collaboration with Olokoro vigilante personnel.
She stated that the suspects went to the residence of one Miss Amarachi Chinyereugo and attempted to forcibly take away her two-week-old baby girl.
DSP Chinaka said that the Nzubechi Chinagorom allegedly stabbed the nursing mother with a kitchen knife during a struggle, causing the baby to fall and hit her head on ground.
The police spokesperson said that the two suspects fled from the scene and ran into a nearby bush on realizing that the nursing mother, Miss Amarachi Chinyereugo cried out for help.
She added that the suspects were later apprehended at a bus stop
where they had reportedly gone to take hard drugs.
“The mother and child were immediately rushed to the hospital, where they received treatment and have since recovered.
“The suspects were apprehended, exhibits were recovered and investigation has been conducted at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID). Suspects will be charged to court on 2/06/2026,” Chinaka said.
Ex-Minister of Labour and Productivity, SellJoel Ikenya, has been declared winner of the governorship primaries conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Taraba State.
Mr Felix Hyat, the chairman of the election committee, who announced the results in Jalingo on Saturday, said Ikenya scored 34,173, to defeat Mr Dinshiya Usman, who polled 4,853.
Hyat, who described the exercise as free, fair and transparent, commended the state working committee of the party for the peaceful conduct.
Ikenya, in his acceptance speech, pledged to revive Taraba to her days of glory if elected governor in 2027.
“I will transform Taraba; I will change the state from salary base, to an industrialised state.
“My desire is to also revive the state infrastructure and attract more investors to boost the economy,” he said.
The governorship candidate, however, denied the allegations of factional PDP in Taraba.
“There is no factional PDP in Taraba; I don’t know where the other people are coming from.
“PDP in Taraba is one, and we do not have any faction in the state. We are working as one united family to reclaim our mandate from Gov. Agbu Kefas of the All Progressives Congress (APC),” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that, the Nyesom Wike led faction of the party had recently declared senator Emmanuel Bwacha as its governorship candidate in Taraba.
