Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire have jointly commissioned 37 new international boundary pillars, marking the successful completion of the first phase of the Joint Ghana-Côte d'Ivoire Land Boundary Reaffirmation Exercise. The exercise, which covered a total distance of 150 kilometres, was funded by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the African Union Border Programme, with the 48 Engineer Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces serving as the project contractor.
The newly constructed pillars, comprising one Terminus Pillar, 12 Main Pillars, 20 Intermediate Pillars, and four Border Crossing Pillars, reinforce the African Union's vision of a Borderless Africa. Commissioner General of the Ghana Boundary Commission, Major General Anthony Ntem, emphasized that clearly defined and mutually respected boundaries are essential to cooperation, regional integration, and peaceful coexistence.
