United Nation’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has declared the rumour that the global organisation is about to create a new nation from parts of Nigeria and Cameroon as mere fiction and baseless.

On the other hand, The Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the United Nations Office in Nigeria have described as false in its entirety and nothing but fiction, the news making the rounds that a United Nations Organization UNO State of Cameroon will soon be created.
