Presidency signals imminent appointments as prolonged vacancies raise concerns over Nigeria’s global representation
President Bola Tinubu is reportedly preparing to appoint ambassadors to Nigeria’s key foreign missions in the coming weeks, according to senior sources at the presidency.
The planned appointments come in response to growing public concern that the absence of substantive envoys has weakened Nigeria’s diplomatic influence abroad. Analysts have warned that prolonged vacancies in strategic diplomatic positions could undermine the country’s ability to advocate for its interests on the global stage.
The presidency has not yet disclosed which countries will be prioritized for ambassadorial postings. However, sources indicate that the focus will be on major global capitals and nations with significant economic and political ties to Nigeria.
These anticipated appointments mark a critical step in reinforcing the country’s foreign policy machinery, ensuring that Nigeria maintains active engagement in international affairs.
