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.
