Victor Prescott ([log in to unmask]) also sent me the following
message with some suggested resources. He later added "the marvellous
series entitled 'International Boundary Study' produced by the US Bureau
of Intelligence and Research. Dozens of international boundary studies
produced with texts and maps."
-----------------------
Here is a list of some titles that might be of interest.
A.!.Asiwaaju and P.O.Adeniyi, 1989, Borderlands in Africa.
R.Oliver and A.Atimore 1967 Africa since 1800
Ian Brownlie 1975 African Boundaries: a legal and diplomatic encyclopedia

Algeria, Vol. 1 1943, Tunisia 1945, Morocco vol11(2) 1942, French
Equatorial Africa 1942, French West Africa Vols 1 and 2 , 1943 and 1944.

and lastly V.Prescott The evolution of Nigeria's political boundaries,
