Justification has been given to the recent move by the federal government to recall all career and non-career ambassadors from their duty posts worldwide.
Recall Theliberationnews, on Saturday, reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered the recall of Nigerian ambassadors in foreign countries directing them to return to the country on October, 31, the latest.
Justifying this decision, Presidential Spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement on Saturday, explained that it was in line with President Tinubu’s renewed Hope agenda.
His words: “The President’s directive is sequel to his careful study of the present state of affairs at Nigerian Consulate Offices and Embassies worldwide, and in line with the President’s renewed hope agenda, the President is determined to ensure that world-class efficiency and quality, will henceforth, characterize foreign and domestic service delivery to citizens, residents and prospective visitors alike.”
“To this end,” according to the statement, “the President further directs that Nigeria’s United Nations Permanent Representatives in New York and Geneva be exempted from this total recall, in view of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, holding later this month.
“By the directive of the President, the recall of the affected officers takes immediate effect.”
