INTRODUCTIONThe configuration of Nigerias coastline to the east of Nigeria/Benin line produces a stretch of line which goes out to the full 200 miles where Nigeria and Ghana have a common maritime boundary (unclear location and directions;Ghana is located west from Nigeria/Benin border for instance).Statistical evaluation by the Intational Seabed Authority indicates the likelihood of thick sediment on the seabed of both countries with reasonable prospect of each being able to claim an extended continental shelf.The Report further indicates a considerable overlap of mineral resources especially oil and gas straddling the maritime boundary of both countries.
