This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who noted that responses from other countries are still being awaited.

The ministry added that the date for the induction ceremony of the ambassador-designates will be announced once finalised and confirmed by the Presidency.

The development underscores ongoing efforts by Nigeria to deepen diplomatic ties and enhance its international engagements across multiple regions.
