President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the postings of ambassadors-designate, both non-career and career diplomats, to various countries and international organisations, following their Senate confirmation in December 2025. The move is aimed at bolstering Nigeria's diplomatic presence across the globe. The list features prominent non-career appointees with diverse backgrounds alongside experienced career foreign service officers. Notable names include media personality Reno Omokri (Mexico), former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu (Qatar), and former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode (Germany). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will notify host governments and organisations, allowing the ambassadors to take up their duties in support of Nigeria's foreign policy goals. The Ministry has also conveyed nominations of the other 62 designated envoys to all countries concerned, requesting their agreements in line with standard diplomatic practice. President Tinubu has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately commence an induction programme for all ambassadors-designate and High Commissioners.
