The National Coordi­nator of the Ghana Boundary Commission (GBC), Major General Em­manuel Kotia, says the outfit is collaborating with the Econom­ic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) Commission toimprove the living conditions of people living along the coun­try's borders in order to enhance security. He said there was the need to provide adequate social amenities, including water, schools and health facilities,for people in border com­munities to prevent them from being vulnerable,and therefore, swayed into violent activities. Major General Kotiamade the call at the inauguration of a reha­bilitated health centre at Leklebi -Kame, a border Community in the Afadzato District of the Volta Region on Thursday. He indicated that investing in poor border communities was relevant as it would help prevent extremists from taking advantage of poverty-induced vulnerability of the people, particularly the youth,and coerce them into ex­tremist activities. According to Major General Kotia, "the provision of vital social amenities would deter terrorists from infiltrating border communities, and also promote peace and tranquility in such com­munities." The Director of Free Movement of ECOWAS Commission, Mr Albert Siaw Boateng, announced that it was provided with funds to undertake projects, and Ghana was the first to complete such projects in the West African sub-region.
