The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has disowned list released in some
media agencies on the purported deployment of 47 career
Ambassadors-designate to different countries.
In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP by the
Ministry Of Foreign Affairs , through the office of the Permanent
Secretary, Amb Sola Enikanolaiye, states that, “The Ministry wishes to
disown the list as totally unauthorized as it has not emanated from
Government. Indeed, the publication has not been attributed to any
source in Government.
“The deployment of Ambassadors-designate will be
released only when agréments (consent) have been sought and obtained
from prospective countries,” it said.
It further added that the members of the diplomatic
community and the general public are therefore advised to ignore any
news on the alleged deployment of the 47 career Ambassadors-designate,
who recently went through an induction programme that ended yesterday.
