Also speaking, the Acting Secretary of the State Boundary Committee, Mr. Ikina Lucky Atangsi, said the technical committees were set up to find lasting solutions to the perennial boundary disputes between Eleme/Oyigbo and Tai/Oyigbo urging members to act in line with the terms of reference given to them.
