Nigeria to spend millions to resettle residents of disputed area

LAGOS, Sept 4, 2007 (AFP) - Nigeria will spend 950 million naira (7.3 million dollars/ 5.3 million euros) to resettle nationals living in the disputed Bakassi Peninsula ceded to Cameroon last year, the national news agency said Tuesday.

Nigeria formally handed over Bakassi to Cameroon in August 2006 in compliance with a ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and a UN-brokered deadline.
