The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has attributed the delay in appointing ambassadors to financial and economic challenges being faced by the current administration.
Yusuf Tuggar disclosed this during the ministerial sectoral briefing on Tuesday in Abuja. Nigeria has 109 missions, 76 embassies, 22 high commissions and 11 consulates globally.
According to the minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not been receiving the necessary funding to operate effectively. He noted that it was pointless to appoint ambassadors without the financial resources to support their travel and the effective running of missions abroad.
