Full List: Tinubu Approves Posting of Four Ambassador-Designates
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of four ambassador-designates from the list of 68 nominees earlier confirmed by the Senate in December.
The approved postings include Ambassador Ayodele Oke as Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to France, and Colonel Lateef Are as ambassador-designate to the United States.
Also approved is Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, a former envoy to South Korea, who has been named high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, former governor of Kebbi State, has been posted as ambassador-designate to Turkey. His posting comes ahead of President Tinubu’s scheduled state visit to Turkey next week.
In a memo addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the President directed the ministry to formally notify the governments of the four host countries of the appointments, in line with established diplomatic procedures.
The approvals mark the first batch of postings from the ambassadorial list confirmed by the Senate late last year.
