President Bola Tinubu is expected to announce a new set of ambassadors to Nigeria’s foreign missions in key countries in the coming weeks, according to highly placed presidency sources.
The development follows increasing public concern over Nigeria’s diminished diplomatic visibility, as several missions have operated without substantive envoys for months. Critics say the absence of appointed ambassadors has slowed bilateral engagement, weakened representation in global affairs, and created administrative gaps in missions critical to advancing the nation’s strategic interests.
The forthcoming appointments are expected to reinvigorate Nigeria’s foreign policy posture, strengthen international partnerships, and restore full diplomatic presence in countries crucial to the nation’s political and economic agenda. Sources suggest the president is finalizing the list, with an official announcement anticipated soon.
