The Senate has set up an ad-hoc committee to investigate the alleged annexation of the country’s mangrove islands and maritime territories by the Republic of Cameroon.
The committee is expected to report back with necessary recommendations in the next two months.
As part of its resolutions during plenary, the Senate has urged President Bola Tinubu to take immediate steps to safeguard Nigeria’s territorial waters, including securing over two thousand five hundred and sixty oil wells identified within the disputed mangrove islands in Akwa Ibom State.
