''We appeal to the states and people to sheathe their swords; NBC will demarcate the boundaries,'' Richard Oji, an official of the commission, says.

The National Boundary Commission said it will resolve crisis in grey areas of boundary demarcation between Benue and Taraba in early 2021. It called for peaceful coexistence among the residents in the border community.

Mr Oji said the commission had done so much over the years in the demarcation of the boundary between the two states. “The legal document or instruments we used, particularly the 1923 and 1924 agreements on the boundary have equally affected the efforts of the commission. “These have equally affected the principal understanding of state creation as some feel it is to increase their territory, but boundaries are for administrative purpose and convenience.
