President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday approved the postings of 31 career and 34 non-career ambassadors to various countries and the United Nations.
Recall that the Senate confirmed the ambassadors-designate last December, amongst whom were two designates from Kogi; Ambassador Adamu Bako Umar from Koton-karfe, and Abubakar Sanusi Aliyu from Okene Local Government Area of the state.
With the recent approval, the President posted Ambassador Bako Umar to Rabat, Morocco. According to the profile page of Foreign Affairs, Bako had served as the Head of Mission, Singapore.
However, Abubakar Sanusi Aliyu was not included in the latest approved posting, with sources saying his posting is likely still pending.
