—- Says nomination is a great honour and acknowledged it as a moment of thanksgiving to God.

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has expressed profound gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating him as one of Nigeria’s new national ambassadors.

The list, which also includes notable figures such as author and political commentator Reno Omokri, former governors, and ex-first ladies from various states, is part of a broader diplomatic reshuffle aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s presence in strategic nations and international organisations. The nominees await confirmation by the Senate.

In a post shared via his X handle, @realFFK, on Sunday, November 30, 2025, Fani-Kayode wrote:

“I thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating me to be an ambassador of our great country, Nigeria. This is indeed a great honour for which I give God the glory. Thanks be to God.”

His appointment marks a significant moment in the ongoing reorganisation of Nigeria’s foreign representation, with expectations high that the new ambassadors will contribute to enhancing the country’s diplomatic influence worldwide.
