President Bola Tinubu has formally requested the Senate to confirm the appointment of three non-career ambassadors, nearly two years after he recalled all Nigerian ambassadors, both career and non-career, in September 2023.
The nominees are Kayode Are of Ogun State, Aminu Dalhatu of Jigawa State, and Ayodele Oke of Oyo State. The appointments, once confirmed, will see the diplomats representing Nigeria in key international capitals, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed the nominations in a statement on Wednesday, noting that the appointments reflect the administration’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s diplomatic engagement and global representation.
The nominees will now undergo Senate screening before being confirmed to take up their respective postings.
