President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the postings of 31 career and 34 non-career ambassadors to various countries and international missions, including the United Nations.
The list of ambassadors-designate had earlier been confirmed by the Nigerian Senate in December 2025.
Among the notable appointments, former Oyo First Lady, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, was posted to Austria, while Erelu Angela Adebayo was appointed ambassador to Portugal. Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, was posted to Mexico, while former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, was assigned to Germany.
Others on the non-career list include Senator Ita Enang to South Africa, former Abia State Governor Victor Ikpeazu to Spain, and former Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, to Canada.
A statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already received agrément from the United Kingdom for the High Commissioner-designate, Ambassador Aminu Dalhatu.
Similarly, France has conveyed its agrément for Ambassador Ayodele Oke.
According to the statement, the Ministry has also communicated the nominations of the other 62 envoys to the respective countries, requesting their agrément in line with diplomatic procedures.
President Tinubu has directed the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately commence the induction programme for the ambassadors-designate and high commissioners.
