Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has announced that President Bola Tinubu has approved his appointment as Nigeria’s Ambassador-Designate to South Africa.
Fani-Kayode made the disclosure in a post on his X handle on Thursday, stating that his initial posting to Germany was reviewed following his request for redeployment.
According to him, he had formally written to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express reservations about serving in Germany and instead requested to be posted to South Africa.
He said his request was considered and approved by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, who subsequently conveyed it to Tinubu for final approval.
