President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, January 22, approved the posting of four ambassador-designates, out of the 68 confirmed by the Senate last December.
President Tinubu approved the postings of Ayodele Oke as the ambassador-designate to France, and Kayode Are as the ambassador-designate to the United States of America.
Also approved by the president is the posting of 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 posting of others will also be made in due course.
