As I celebrate another birthday today and have grown older, I often find myself reflecting…

By Agency Report

The federal government will soon set up a new committee that will select the new set of ambassadors that will replace those recalled.

Alkasim Abdulkadir, aide to foreign affairs minister Yusuf Tuggar, disclosed this in an interview in Abuja.

Mr Abdulkadir said the selection of the new ambassadors would require wide-ranging consultations with relevant stakeholders.

The minister’s aide added that all recalled ambassadors have returned to the country contrary to the reports that most of them have been unable to return due to financial constraints.

On September 2, President Bola Tinubu recalled all the country’s ambassadors, both career and non-career.

They were asked to return to the country on or before October 31, 2023.

Nigeria has no fewer than 300 foreign missions.

Presidential aide Ajuri Ngelale said the action was a sequel to President Bola Tinubu’s study of the present state of affairs at Nigerian consulates, offices, and embassies across the world.

Mr Ngelale added that the latest move aligned with the president’s ‘Renewed Hope agenda’.

He emphasised the president’s determination to ensure world-class efficiency and quality in service delivery, saying that he would, subsequently, characterise foreign and domestic service delivery to citizens, residents, and prospective visitors.
