Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the recall of all career and non-career ambassadors from their duty posts worldwide.
According to a press statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Saturday by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, the Tinubu’s directive is sequel to his careful study of the present state of affairs at Nigerian Consulate Offices and Embassies worldwide, and in line with the President’s renewed hope agenda.
He said the President is determined to ensure that world-class efficiency and quality, will henceforth, characterize foreign and domestic service delivery to citizens, residents and prospective visitors alike.
To this end, the President further directs that Nigeria’s United Nations Permanent Representatives in New York and Geneva be exempted from this total recall, in view of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, holding later this month.
By the directive of the President, the recall of the affected officers takes immediate effect.
