President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Yaoundé, Cameroon, said Nigeria would abide by the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), on the Bakassi Peninsula.
A statement by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said the President stated this at an interactive session with Nigerians living in Cameroon during his two-day working and friendly visit to the country.
The President 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.
Buhari said his administration had yet to articulate a foreign policy for Nigeria beyond what was captured in the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) manifesto.
“However, we will make our embassies more efficient and improve our relations with other countries’’, he said.
The President urged Nigerians in Diaspora to be law-abiding in their host countries.
