Delta State Government says it has resolved the lingering boundary dispute between Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh Communities in Udu and Warri South West Local Government Areas.

Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu, disclosed this at an enlarged stakeholder meeting on the Aladja- Ogbe-Ijoh boundary dispute held in Asaba the State Capital.

At the meeting, Dr. Emu gave a background of the conflict noting that past administrations  Military and Civilian had tried to intervene by setting up various panels of inquiries to settle the issue.

He added that the efforts which included private private initiatives by some eminent Deltans to mediate the crises, all unfortunately did not yield the desired results.

The SSG also highlighted the effort of the immediate past administration of Dr Ifeanyi Okowa to resolve the conflict through the Office of the Special Adviser on Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, which had officials of the Ministries of Lands and Survey, Justice, representatives of both communities and Chairmen of the Councils at that time.

He said the Team made good progress by demarcating the boundaries between the two communities from Warri River up to Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja road to the satisfaction of both communities but that they refused to accept the demarcation from the point up to Major General Dumeje’s Canal.

The SSG said, the Governor Oborevwori-led administration, disturbed by the enduring stalemate on the dispute through the Ministry of Youth Development in conjunction with the office of the Secretary to the State Government, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Peace and Conflict Resolutions and the Ministry of Justice brokered a dialogue between the youth leaders and other stakeholders of both Communities where far-reaching resolutions were taken at the two-day consultation meeting with the communities.

The SSG said the outcome of the engagement with the youths led to an enlarged stakeholders meeting.
He reiterated that the administration of Governor Sherrif Oberevwori remained committed to the course of development across the state, and for which peace is an indispensable factor.
