President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of 12 consuls-general and five chargés d’affaires to represent Nigeria in 14 countries.

The minister of Foreign Affairs, YUSUF TUGGAR disclosed this in a statement yesterday.

TUGGAR, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Communications Strategy, ALKASIM ABDULKADIR, charged the newly appointed Chargé D’affaires and Consuls General to be good ambassadors of Nigeria.

The minister said the new appointees are pivotal to the economic drive of President BOLA TINUBU.

He further stressed that as seasoned career diplomats, the appointees should shun the act of politicking and recommit themselves to their calling of diplomacy for Nigeria’s collective interest and development.
