Odey expressed concern that ongoing boundary disputes pose a potential threat to peace and stability within the region. He highlighted the need for definitive demarcation to prevent further conflicts and misunderstandings between communities. The Deputy Governor emphasized the importance of a swift resolution to these issues to foster harmonious relations.
