Today, Commissioning of the new Border Bridge linking Nigeria & Cameroon at Mfum/Ekok,across the Cross River; and new Joint Border Post at Mfum. Construction began 2017, was completed in 2021.

You can see the new Bridge, and the old single-lane one, built more than 70 years ago.

The new Joint Border Post between Nigeria and Cameroon. Unlike Nigeria's other Border Posts with neighbouring countries, which are all 'ECOWAS' posts, this one between Nigeria and Cameroon is an ECOWAS-ECCAS Post, as Nigeria = ECOWAS and Cameroon = ECCAS.

Happening Today:

Official Commissioning of the two-lane Border Bridge over the Cross River at the Nigeria/Cameroon Border at Mfum/Ekok and Joint Border Post by President Muhammadu Buhari and President Paul Biya of Cameroon.

The Joint Border Bridge is one of the projects under the Transport Facilitation Programme for the Bamenda-Enugu Corridor otherwise known as the Nigeria/Cameroon Multinational Highway and Transport Facilitation Programme (NCMH&TFP).

NCMH+TFP aim at improving relations between Nigeria and Cameroon through the facilitation of movement of people, goods and services between both countries, and also as a major economic route connecting the ECOWAS countries & their Economic Community of Central African States counterparts.

The newly constructed two-lane border bridge will replace the 70+ years single-lane bridge at the border and improve the efficiency of the logistic chain of transport by the removal of traffic and non-traffic barriers along the transnational highway and corridor.

Nice one but of what economic importance is Cameroon to Nigeria if I may ask?
