The Cable reports that the acting president made this comment at a town hall meeting in Calabar on Thursday, June 1, when he visited.

He said: “The ceding of Bakassi as a result of the judgement of the ICJ is a development that we all consider a loss.

“But President Buhari strongly believes that while we ruminate over the legal issues we must not allow Nigerian citizens in Ikang and elsewhere to suffer.

“The federal government will certainly do more and engage more with the displaced in Bakassi. This is our duty and our commitment.”

The acting president was accompanied to the state by Ibe Kachukwu, minister of petroleum resources; Usani Ughuru, minister of Niger Delta, and Winifred Oyo-Ita, the head of the civil service of the federation.
