Major General Emmanuel Kotia, the National Coordinator for the Ghana Boundary Commission has raised concerns over the removal of international boundary pillars along the Ghana-Cote D’Ivoire borders, including the teak plantation planted by both countries. The illegal mining activities in the area were the major cause of these removals, according to him.
To address this issue, the Ghanaian Boundary Commission has collaborated with the Minerals Commission, Forestry Commission, and Geological Survey Authority to investigate and devise a plan of action.
