By Gambo Abubakar Kaduna 

 The Chairman Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Mamman Mike Osuman has appealed to the office of vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shatima to direct the Chairman National Boundary Commission to complete it's assignments by erecting appropriate pillars demarcating the exact- state boundary between Enugu and Kogi. 

The ACF Chairman made the call during the 715 national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the forum, held at the forum's office recently in Kaduna.

 According to the Chairman, the ACF has requested as matter of urgency to reach out the Director General (DG) National Boundary Commission and the Director in charge of inter-State Boundaries of the commission to expedite action on erecting appropriate pillars to demarcating the boundary of the two States in Ete (ETTE) sector.

  He however noted that, "the Ette Community is an integral part of the North. It is in Kogi State people by highly educated, skilled and peace loving people.

Their determination by Enugu State to illegally grab a portion of Ette land where rich mineral deposits abound has for years been resisted by our Ette brothers.

 He also explained that, the ACF have rudely astounded with the sad news of the resurgence of the debilitating terror attacks and loss of lives and property in Bokkos - Plateau State.

 The gruesome assassination of northerners in Uromi, Edo State and the resurgence of Boko Haram in Borno State. The resurgence of this monstrous blood thirsty psychopaths are issues of grave concern to us.

  "While the cruel murderous attacks on the Bokkos peasant farmers and peace loving petty traders is said to be undergoing investigations."

The recent resumption of Boko Haram merchants of evil on families in the North East lack conceivable explanation despite Federal Governments assurance of the region's return to normalcy."

  He also maintained that, AC's pain and concern is aggravating as it derives from our knowledge of the recent horrendous flood that destroyed lives and property in Maiduguri town and its environs. 

 These insecurities have substantially interfered with the peaceful co-existence of our people. 

 "Farm lands are evacuated, schools are closed, petty trading is discontinued and livelihood is impaired. The ugly situations have been accentuated by recession, high cost of living, poor health care and the high cost of transportation."

  The ACF has further slams with politicians for individuals utterances and media expose relating to the upcoming 2027 elections are already hitting the air waves,  while the politicians should emphasised earnestly on governance.

 Also addressses the biting needs of the peoples subjected to sufferings resulted by brigandage, terrorism, kidnapping, mass murders, hunger and diseases.
