President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of four ambassador-designates from the list of 68 nominees earlier confirmed by the Senate.
The approval was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
The approved postings include Ambassador Ayodele Oke as Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to France, while Colonel Lateef Are has been posted as ambassador-designate to the United States of America.
Also approved is the posting of Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, a former Nigerian envoy to South Korea, as the high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
Former Kebbi State Governor, Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, has been named ambassador-designate to Turkey, a country President Tinubu is expected to visit on a state visit 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 countries in line with established diplomatic procedures.
