Bayelsa seeks implementation of Supreme Court order on boundary dispute with Rivers - Punch Newspapers

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Douye Diri, on Friday urged the Federal Government to expedite action on the implementation of the 2012 Supreme Court order on the boundary dispute between Bayelsa and Rivers states.

Wondering why the exercise had not been carried out nine years after the ruling, Diri expressed disappointment over the speed with which a federal agency implemented the Federal High Court order delivered in favour of Rivers State in December 2020. The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Lawrence Ewhrujakpo, appealed to the relevant authorities to be aboveboard in their judgements and actions to enhance peace and good neighbourliness between the two states.

He said, “We are not here today to talk about internal boundaries. But we will like to use this opportunity to once again remind the National Boundary Commission of our boundary with Rivers State.
