Nigeria will abide by the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the Bakassi Peninsula, President Muhammadu Buhari said onWednesday in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon.
Speaking at an interactive session with Nigerians living in Cameroon during his two-day working and friendly visit to the country, President Buhari said his administration would ensure the faithful implementation of the Green Tree Agreement, which regulates the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon.
"Since Nigeria allowed the case to go to court (ICJ), and we lost, we have to abide by it, ” the President said in response to a question from a Nigerian on the issue.
President Buhari is currently on his maiden visit to the country met with Paul Biya, the Cameroonian President over co-operating in the fight against the Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram.
