Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that 10 countries have granted approval for the country’s ambassadors-designate, marking progress in the ongoing diplomatic posting process.

The countries include United Kingdom, France, United States, Ireland, Qatar, Benin Republic, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.

According to ministry spokesperson Kimibie Ebienfa, the process is still ongoing, with responses expected from other countries. Notably, approvals are pending for postings involving Femi Fani-Kayode to Germany and Reno Omokri to Mexico.

The induction ceremony for the ambassadors-designate will be announced once all confirmations are received and finalized by the presidency.

This development follows President Bola Tinubu’s recall of all ambassadors in 2023 and the subsequent nomination and confirmation of 67 envoys, with new postings approved in March 2026.
