The Nigerian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Office in Nigeria
have denied knowledge of the carving out of a country from Nigeria and
Cameroon.
The new country whose name is Uno State of Cameroon was billed for proclamation by the United Nations on July 10, 2020.
In the map of the new country, Nigeria will lose 24 local councils which
were said to be captured in the green tree agreement, signed by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo for Nigeria and Paul Biya for Cameroun in
2006.
Though some online media referenced the agreement, which gave July 10,
2020, as date for implementation, a source in the united nations has
described it as false, saying he does not create countries.
