President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the renewal of the appointments of 12 non-career ambassadors, assuring Nigerians of fairness in representation and inclusiveness in all matters of governance.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the assurance from the President became necessary following recent complaints after the nomination of 41 non-career ambassadors that some states were not captured.

The renewal of the appointments followed a performance evaluation, which necessitated an approval for continuation in office of the ambassadors, and the President will still decide if they will remain in their current postings.

The ambassadors whose appointments were renewed are:

  1. Uzoma E. Emenike (Abia)
  2. Yusuf M. Tuggar (Bauchi)
  3. Muhammad B. Madugu (Bauchi)
  4. Baba Ahmad Jidda (Borno)
  5. Uyigue O. Oghogho (Edo)
  6. Dr. Eniola Ajayi (Ekiti)
  7. Deborah S. Iliya (Kaduna)
  8. Mohammed D. Rimi (Katsina)
  9. Professor Tijjani Muhammad-Bande (Kebbi)
  10. Dr. Modupe E. Irele (Lagos)
  11. Adeyinka Asekun (Ogun)
  12. Senator Goni Modu Zanna Bura (Yobe)
