Opinion: Justice Mamman Nasir: Resolving Nigeria’s Boundary Clashes, By Eric Teniola

There will always be disputes on boundaries in this country but the Mamman Nasir panel tried the best it could in reducing these conflicts. In the end, the panel recommended the establishment of a National Boundary Commission, which was later implemented by General Ibrahim Babangida in 1990. After his assignment, he was subsequently appointed a justice of the Supreme Court.

Brigadier Ally also doubled then as military secretary. The then lieutenant Colonel Shehu Musa Yar’dua worked under him in the Lagos Garrison. But for him, the coup de tat of 1975 that brought Brigadier Murtala Mohammed to power would not have been possible. Colonel Gwadabe will shed more light on this in his forthcoming book.On January 8, 1976, Brigadier Mohammed was promoted General along with chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters, Brigadier Olusegun Obasanjo who was promoted Lt-General.

However, what had delayed the creation of states then was the problems over boundaries. General Murtala Mohammed explained to the nation in his national broadcast that problems over boundaries amongst states were the greatest fear the Supreme Council faced.
