The House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on the Nigeria-Cameroon Border Dispute has called for calm as work is ongoing to resolve the dispute.

Rep. Beni Lar (PDP-Plateau), chairman of the committee, made the call while addressing journalists at the National Assembly complex on Thursday in Abuja.

She said the committee remains committed to a peaceful and amicable resolution guided by international law and the principles of justice, fairness and equity.

Ms Lar said constructive dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation are essential to reaching a fair and just solution that respects historical, cultural, and social ties while protecting the rights of Nigerian citizens.

She called on all national and international relevant stakeholders to lend their support and facilitate the amicable resolution process.

“The committee called upon Nigerian citizens, civil society organisations, and stakeholders to remain calm, patient, trusting the efforts of those charged legally to protect the Fatherland, as well as be supportive throughout this critical period.

“Unity and collaboration are crucial to achieving a favourable outcome that preserves Nigeria’s territorial integrity and upholds the rights of its citizens.

“We are confident that with the collective efforts of all parties involved and with a very good sensitisation collaboration with the media, a lasting solution can be reached, which is securing Nigeria’s land and the well-being of its citizens,” she said.
