President Muhammadu Buhari and his Cameroonian counterpart, Paul Biya inaugurated a multi-million-dollar bridge on Thursday.

The community is in the Etung local government area of Cross River State in Nigeria and Ekok community on the side of Cameroon.

“The corridor covers 441 km of road and will contribute to facilitate trade and strengthen relations between Cameroon and Nigeria.”“Today, the Bamenda-Enugu corridor is fully tarred and one can comfortably drive from Bamenda to Enugu or from Yaounde to Abuja to cover 1100 km or do his business on either side,” he said.He added that Cameroon on its part would undertake any initiative towards maintaining a good border relationship with Nigeria.
