President Bola Tinubu has charged Nigeria's newly appointed ambassadors and high commissioners to aggressively pursue foreign investment and strengthen strategic partnerships to enhance the country's global image. In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Mr. Yomi Odunuga, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, Tinubu highlighted the need for diplomats to adapt to the rapidly evolving global landscape influenced by geopolitical dynamics, economic uncertainties, and technological disruptions.
