(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Federal Government has stated that very soon, the areas of border disagreement between Nigeria and Cameroon would be settled peaceably.

The leader of the Nigerian delegation, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN stated this during the thirty-forth session of the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission (CNMC) held in Abuja.

“Nigeria is committed to the quick and successful execution of the mandates of the Mixed Commission,” Malami said, adding that the areas of disagreement have been reduced to just three.
