Cameroon Cannot Request For Nigeria’s Territories – Boundary Commission

The National Boundary Commission (NBC) says the rumour trending
that the Republic of Cameroon is demanding for more territories
from Nigeria in Adamawa and Borno parts of the country is not
true.

The Director-General of the commission, Mr Adamu Adaji, made
this known when he features the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) forum
in Abuja.

Adaji said that due to the insurgency in the North-East, border
activities had been low.

“However, the boundary is definitive and some communities that
were affected by the International Court ruling had been
exchanged.

“Those who were to go to Cameroon were handed over and those to
Nigeria were taken over.

“So, it is not true that Republic of Cameroon is asking for more
communities or territories from Nigeria.

“The recent activities we undertook in the Lot 5 of the
demarcation of Nigeria and Cameroon border was on the Taraba and
Adamawa section and no issue of community being sought after by
Cameroon.

“It is unfortunate that people peddle such rumour. I think the
appropriate thing to do is to contact the commission to get
appropriate records and information,” Adaji said.

The NBC boss reiterated that there was no such request from the
Cameroonian government, adding that they could not request such
from Nigeria.

He, therefore, urged the public to disregard the rumour as there
was no such demand.

“Our territory remains ours and the government is doing
everything within its power to ensure that our land and maritime
borders are safe and not tampered with by any country, ” he said.
