President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of three ambassadors-designate from the list of 68 nominees earlier confirmed by the Senate in December.
According to official confirmation, President Tinubu approved the posting of Ambassador Ayodele Oke as Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to France, while Colonel Lateef Are has been named ambassador-designate to the United States of America.
The President also confirmed the posting of Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, a former Nigerian ambassador to South Korea, as the high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
In a memo addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Tinubu directed the ministry to formally notify the governments of the three host countries of the appointments, in line with established diplomatic procedures.
The postings mark the first set of ambassadorial deployments approved by the President following the Senate’s confirmation of the nominees, as Nigeria moves to strengthen diplomatic representation and engagement with key international partners.
