In a decisive action that has captured national attention, President Bola Tinubu has issued a directive for the immediate recall of all career and non-career ambassadors stationed around the world. This sweeping move is not just a policy change; it’s a strategic decision that aligns perfectly with his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda.’ The primary aim of this recall is to significantly improve the level of service provided to Nigerian citizens, residents, and potential visitors abroad.

The Rationale: Elevating Service Standards

After a thorough examination of Nigeria’s foreign offices, President Tinubu decided to recall the ambassadors. His goal is to ensure that world-class efficiency becomes the standard in both foreign and domestic service delivery.

The President’s directive comes after an exhaustive review of the performance and efficiency of Nigeria’s foreign offices. The review revealed gaps in service delivery, prompting President Tinubu to take immediate action. By recalling the ambassadors, the President aims to reset the standards of professionalism and efficiency in all Nigerian Consulate Offices and Embassies globally.

This move is a clear signal of President Tinubu’s commitment to elevating Nigeria’s diplomatic relations and service delivery to world-class standards. It’s a step that underscores his dedication to the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda,’ which seeks to bring about transformative change in various sectors of Nigerian governance.

Exceptions: UN Representatives Remain

While the recall is comprehensive, exceptions exist. Nigeria’s Permanent Representatives to the United Nations in New York and Geneva will stay in their posts. Their presence is crucial for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

Immediate Implementation: No Time to Waste

The President has emphasized that this directive takes effect immediately, highlighting the urgency of the needed reforms in Nigeria’s foreign service.

Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, released this information today. “This decision marks a milestone in the President’s plan to transform how Nigeria interacts with the world,” said Chief Ngelale.

The recall of the ambassadors serves as a wake-up call for all foreign service officers. It’s a move designed to instil a renewed sense of responsibility and accountability, ensuring that the nation’s foreign policy objectives align with the expectations and needs of its citizens, both at home and abroad.
