Responding on behalf of members of the committee, the Chairman, Etche Local Government Boundary Committee, Mrs Uche Ken expressed gratitude to the State Boundary Commission for the privilege to serve, stressing that they would work hard to foster peace in the Local Government Area.

 The Chairman, Eche Local Government Area Mr. Obinna Anyanwu had earlier thanked the Deputy Governor for inaugurating the committee and assured her of his support to make the Committee succeed.

The Committee which is expected to deal with inter community disputes, liaise with the State Boundary Commission and other neighbouring Local Government Areas to promote peace and harmony among border dwellers is headed by the Vice Chairman of the LGA Mrs. Uche Ken.
