She said communal crisis only brings hardship, economic sabotage, blockade and total lack of development to the area, stressing that the Boundary Commission under her watch cannot fold its arms and watch communal crisis that would impede the developmental agenda of Governor Wike.
Dr. Banigo who said Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is bent on ensuring that all communities in Rivers State enjoy adequate development in all nooks and crannies of the State, however warned that warring communities stand the risk of being left out of the development plan.
She said everything would be done to ensure lasting peace returns to the two communities so that the mandate given to the Governor by the Almighty God and his passion to develop the State would be fulfilled.
