"President Bola Tinubu ... has directed the recall of all career and non-career ambassadors from their duty posts worldwide. 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," the office tweeted on Saturday.
Nigeria's permanent representatives to the United Nations in New York and Geneva are exempted from the recall amid the upcoming UN General Assembly scheduled to take place from September 19-26, it added.
The recall of ambassadors has taken the immediate effect, the Nigerian presidential office also stated.
