Nigeria Nominates Ambassadors for US, France, UK and Turkey

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu appointed ambassadors to the US and three other countries, more than two years after the positions fell vacant.

Lateef Are, a retired colonel, was named ambassador-designate to America, while Ayodele Oke, a former director-general of Nigeria’s National Intelligence Agency, was nominated as ambassador to France, the presidency said in a statement late Thursday.
