Tinubu to unveil new ambassadorial appointments amid Trump’s warning on Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu is set to announce the appointment of Nigeria’s new ambassadors to foreign missions around the world,

The President has reportedly ordered a “final cleanup” of the ambassadorial list in preparation for its official release. This move is seen as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s diplomatic representation abroad.

The development comes just days after former U.S. President Donald Trump declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged killings of Christians. The declaration has sparked renewed attention on Nigeria’s foreign relations and human rights record.

Observers say the absence of ambassadors in key countries has weakened Nigeria’s diplomatic engagement in recent months, and the upcoming appointments are expected to restore balance and enhance the country’s global presence.
