Thirty-one career and thirty-four non-career ambassadors have been sent to different nations and the UN with President Bola Tinubu’s approval.
The Senate confirmed the ambassadors-designate in December 2025, as was previously mentioned.
Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode was sent to Germany, while former presidential aide Reno Omokri was assigned to Mexico, according to a statement released on Friday by Bayo Onanauga, Special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy.
The announcement claims that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already secured approval from the United Kingdom for Ambassador Aminu Dalhatu, the High Commissioner-designate. The agrüge for Ambassador Ayo Oke has also been sent by France.
According to Onanuga, the Ministry has also sent requests for their agreements in accordance with customary diplomatic procedure, together with the nominations of the other 62 chosen envoys to each of the participating nations.
The presidential aide further stated that Tinubu has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start the induction process for High Commissioners and ambassadors-designate right away.
