PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has approved the posting of four ambassador-designates from the list of 68 nominees confirmed by the Senate in December last year to the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), France and Turkey to strengthen Nigeria’s bilateral relations and advance its foreign policy objectives.
According to a statement on Thursday, January 22, by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the postings mark the first in the posting of envoys, while further deployments will be in phases.
In the new postings, Ayodele Oke was appointed ambassador-designate to France, while Lateef Are to the US, Aminu Dalhatu to the UK and Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, a former governor of Kebbi State, to Turkey.
In a memo addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tinubu directed the ministry to formally notify the governments of the four host countries of the appointments, in line with established diplomatic protocols and international conventions.
