President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the posting of three ambassadors-designate, out of the 68 confirmed by the Senate last December. The appointees are Ambassador Ayodele Oke as ambassador-designate to France, Colonel Lateef Are as ambassador-designate to the United States of America, and Ambassador Amin Dalhatu as high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom.
In a memo to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Tinubu urged the ministry to notify the governments of the three countries about the ambassadors-designate, in accordance with diplomatic procedures.
The President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, issued a statement clarifying that there is no ambassador-designate for Turkey yet, correcting an earlier mix-up.
