Nigeria and Cameroon are reportedly nearing completion of the physical demarcation of their shared land and maritime boundary, almost 24 years after the International Court of Justice delivered its ruling on the border dispute.
The development was reported on September 28, 2026, as both countries continue work related to implementing the boundary arrangements established following the ICJ judgment.
The Nigeria-Cameroon boundary stretches across several regions and includes areas where communities on both sides have historically maintained strong social and economic links.
The demarcation process is intended to provide clearer identification of the international boundary while supporting cooperation between the two countries.
Nigeria and Cameroon have previously undertaken joint border infrastructure projects, including the Mfum-Ekok crossing connecting Cross River State with Cameroon’s Southwest Region.
The latest development comes as both countries continue efforts to strengthen border management and cross-border cooperation.
