The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the alleged list circulating in the media does not have the authorization of the government.

The federal government has disowned a list circulating in the media on the purported deployment of 47 career ambassadors-designate to different countries.

But the ministry of foreign affairs in a statement on Thursday, December 22, through its permanent secretary, Amb Sola Enikanolaiye, disowned the list on the grounds that it was not unauthorized by the government, Leadership reports.

It said: "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."

The ministry also called on the members of the diplomatic community and the general public to ignore any news on the alleged deployment of the 47 career ambassadors-designate, who recently went through an induction programme.
