President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the deployment of four ambassador-designates from the list of 68 nominees earlier confirmed by the Senate in December.
The President approved the posting of Ambassador Ayodele Oke as Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to France, and Colonel Lateef Are as ambassador-designate to the United States.
Also approved is the posting of Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, a former envoy to South Korea, as Nigeria’s high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, former governor of Kebbi State, has been named ambassador-designate to Turkey, ahead of President Tinubu’s scheduled state visit to the country next week.
In a memo to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the President directed that the governments of the four countries be formally notified of the postings in line with established diplomatic protocols.
