According to the Federal Government, after being approved and confirmed by the National Assembly, Nigeria’s recently selected ambassadors will begin serving in their designated countries in 2026.
During the end-of-year press conference in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation revealed this information to reporters.
According to him, the ambassadors’ deployment will improve Nigeria’s strategic engagement and worldwide visibility while also fortifying its bilateral ties.
“In 2026, again, our newly appointed ambassadors will take up their posts in their countries of assignment. Of course, their clearance and confirmation have just been made by the National Assembly,” Idris said.
According to him, the appointments were in response to public demands for the posting of ambassadors, adding that the President had acted to address those concerns.
The Minister added that while some aspects of the deployment process had been concluded, the remaining steps would be completed next year.
Idris emphasized that the posting of ambassadors would strengthen Nigeria’s diplomatic engagements across various sectors and advance the country’s interests in the international community.
