This is contained in a statement on Saturday in Abuja by Alkasim Abdulkadir, Special Adviser, Media and Communications Strategy to the Minister.
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has clarified that all career ambassadors and non-career ambassadors have been recalled on the instructions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Ambassadors as representatives of the country serve at the behest of the President and it’s his prerogative to send or recall them from any country,” he added.
In a letter sighted by our correspondent, the minister directed Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Sarafa Ishola “to commence the process of winding down”.
“And take formal leave of your host government within 60 days and to return to Nigeria by 31 October 2023 at the latest.”
