UK, US, France Among Ten Countries Granting Agrément to Nigeria’s Ambassadorial Nominees

The Federal Government confirms that ten countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, France and Ireland, have granted agrément to Nigeria’s ambassadorial nominees. The approvals also cover Qatar, the Republic of Benin, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Senegal and Sierra Leone. Agrément is the formal consent a host nation gives before a diplomat can assume duty. Spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa said responses from other countries are still awaited. Under President Tinubu, several missions have operated without substantive ambassadors. Chargés d’affaires currently manage key diplomatic posts. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will announce the induction ceremony date once all agréments are finalised and confirmed by the Presidency.
