As tensions escalate regarding maritime boundaries between Akwa Ibom and Cross River States, Governor Uno Eno has brought the matter to the attention of President Bola Tinubu. The conflict stems from the ceding of the coastal Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon in 2008, which has reignited disputes over the ownership of 76 oil wells that had previously been ruled in favor of Akwa Ibom by the International Court of Justice and Nigeria's Supreme Court. During their private meeting, which took place at the Presidential Villa, the oil wells dispute was a key point of discussion along with other pressing matters affecting the state. A source from the Government House indicated that the governor aimed to further his agenda regarding this significant economic issue. Eno’s visit comes at a time when the revival of past territorial conflicts is becoming increasingly prominent, particularly with the immense economic implications tied to the oil wells. By engaging with the President, the governor is likely seeking to secure federal attention and support that may influence the resolution of this contentious issue positively for Akwa Ibom.
