President Tinubu approves ambassador postings to key countries as Nigeria strengthens diplomatic engagement.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the deployment of four ambassador-designates from the list of 68 nominees earlier confirmed by the Senate.
The approval was announced on Thursday, January 22, in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
According to the statement, Ambassador Ayodele Oke has been cleared to serve as Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to France.
Also approved is Colonel Lateef Are, who will represent Nigeria as ambassador-designate to the United States of America.
The president further approved the posting of Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, a former Nigerian envoy to South Korea, as high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
In another key appointment, Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, a former governor of Kebbi State, was named ambassador-designate to Turkey.
His posting comes ahead of President Tinubu’s scheduled state visit to the country next week.
Onanuga noted that the president has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formally inform the governments of the affected countries of the appointments, in line with established diplomatic procedures.
The move signals Nigeria’s renewed focus on strengthening diplomatic ties with strategic global partners.
