President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of 31 career and 34 non-career ambassadors to diplomatic missions worldwide, marking the most significant reshaping of Nigeria’s foreign representation since his administration took office.
The ambassadors-designate were confirmed by the Nigerian Senate in December, paving the way for their deployment to strategic capitals across Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas.
In a statement on Friday signed by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, the government said diplomatic notifications have been sent to host countries requesting agrément—the formal approval required before ambassadors can assume their posts.
