Abstract

The essence of having boundaries between communities, states and countries is to prevent land area / territorial jurisdiction disputes. This paper seeks to understand how boundaries emerged and how it succeeded or failed to resolve boundary disputes between nations particularly Nigeria-Niger trans-border. Data for this study was collected from secondary sources and was qualitatively analyzed. The study found that after the determination of the boundary between Nigeria and Niger, the challenges that emerged between the two countries were amicably resolved and consolidated through the use of boundary commissions and borderland development agencies among other security outfits that collaborated with Local and State Governments. This paper recommends that the Federal Government should step up the implementation of its border land development programme among other bilateral agreements to consolidate the cordial relations between the two countries.
