HE Federal government yesterday sealed Nigeria’s hope of recovering the Bakassi Peninsula, by saying that the government will not appeal the International Court of Justice, (ICJ) judgment of 2002 ceding the Peninsula to Cameroon. The Minister of Justice in a long statement released last night said that after consultation with experts, the government decided not to pursue the review of the case stating that it will be more damaging to the country diplomatically if she failed in her quest.
