Nigeria Will Not Cede Anymore Territory To Cameroun – Senate

The Senate President made the remark at plenary on Thursday after he was notified of a boundary adjustment exercise going on in Danari, Boki Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State. Senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, drew the attention of the Senate to the boundary adjustment exercise which he said may lead to Nigeria losing a number of communities to Cameroon. Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, Senator Ndoma- Egba, said the ongoing boundary adjustment in Danari, Boki Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State was one of the consequences of the Green Tree Agreement which was the formal treaty which resolved the Nigeria – Cameroun border dispute over the oil and natural gas rich Bakassi peninsula. In August 2013, Cameroun took full control of the peninsula in line with the agreement that lead to the ceding of the area to the government of Cameroun.
