She highlighted that through collaborative dialogue and a commitment to clarity, a resolution has been reached that empowers both Ministries to effectively deliver on their mandates.  


Key resolutions from the meeting include the establishment of boundary limitations and the coordination of dredging efforts, effective immediately and overseen by the OTCI to ensure compliance and facilitate a smooth transition.  


Anjous-Ademuyiwa expressed confidence that these resolutions will enhance collaboration and operational efficiency between MWID and MEMR, with the OTCI dedicated to ongoing monitoring and support.
