    Officials from Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria are due to meet on Wednesday to resolve a boundary dispute in the oil-rich Gulf of Guinea, Reuters reported, quoting a local newspaper. The daily, Thisday, said the meeting would take place in the Equatorial Guinean city of Bata. This follows talks recently between Nigeria's military ruler, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, and his Guinean counterpart, President Obiang Nguema. Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon are locked in a similar dispute over the Bakassi peninsula, also in the Gulf of Guinea, where their military forces face each other. This dispute is now under arbitration at the International Court of Justice in the Hague
