President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of four ambassador-designates out of the 68 confirmed by the Senate last December.

In a statement by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu confirmed the posting of Ambassador Ayodele Oke as the ambassador-designate to France and Colonel Lateef Are as the ambassador-designate to the United States of America.

Also confirmed by the President is the posting of Ambassador Amin Dalhatu, former ambassador to South Korea, as the high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.

Usman Isa Dakingari Suleiman, former governor of Kebbi State, is the ambassador-designate to Turkey, where the President is scheduled to begin a state visit next week.

“In a memo to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Tinubu urged the ministry to notify the governments of the four countries about the ambassador-designates, in accordance with diplomatic procedures,” the statement reads.

DAILY POST recalls that in December last year, the Nigerian Senate screened 68 ambassador-designates nominated by President Tinubu.
