President Bola Tinubu has charged Nigeria’s newly appointed ambassadors and high commissioners to reposition the country’s global image in line with evolving diplomatic realities and pursue foreign investments and strengthen strategic partnerships.
Tinubu said this on monday at the opening of an induction course for the envoys at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, described the appointees as critical representatives of Nigeria’s image and interests abroad.
Odumegwu-Ojukwu also highlighted the importance of protecting Nigerians living abroad, urging the diplomats to ensure efficient consular services, rapid crisis response, and sustained engagement with diaspora communities.
