President Bola Tinubu has charged Nigeria’s newly appointed ambassadors and high commissioners to aggressively pursue foreign investments.
He also charged them to strengthen strategic partnerships and reposition the country’s global image in line with evolving diplomatic realities.
The President, according to a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, by Mr. Yomi Odunuga, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Goerge Akume, made the call at the opening of an induction course for the envoys in Abuja.
Tinubu, who was represented by Akume at the forum, said the appointments of the envoys reflected the administration’s confidence in the envoys’ capacity to advance Nigeria’s interests on the international stage.
He noted that the global system was undergoing rapid transformation driven by shifting geopolitical dynamics, economic uncertainties, technological disruptions, climate challenges and emerging security threats.
President Tinubu added that the developments had made the role of diplomats more critical than ever.
