After five days on the ground in the Bono Region, the Ghana Boundary Commission (GhBC) has wrapped up a series of engagements and assessments aimed at strengthening border management along Ghana’s western frontier.
The exercise was led by the Commissioner-General, Major General Anthony Ntem, who, together with his team, visited selected municipalities to assess both operational concerns and human security conditions in border areas.
The visit began with a courtesy call on the Bono Regional Minister, Joseph Addae Akwaboa, at the Regional Coordinating Council.
Discussions at the meeting centred on how to improve the management of Ghana’s international boundary in the region, with particular attention to cross-border trade, movement of people, and the development needs of border communities.
From there, the team moved into the municipalities, where they held engagements with the Municipal Chief Executive, the Municipal Security Council, and traditional authorities in Dormaa Central and Jaman South.
These interactions provided an opportunity for local leaders and security officials to share firsthand insights into the challenges confronting border communities.
On the field, the Commission also inspected some boundary pillars in border towns, checking their condition and identifying areas that require attention.
One of the stops included Kwamesiekrom, where the team held brief but meaningful interactions with chiefs and residents, listening to their concerns and expectations.
The tour forms part of ongoing efforts to tighten border governance while ensuring that the voices of people living along the boundary are factored into national planning and decision-making.
