Fani-Kayode begins diplomatic journey, calls appointment a privilege to serve

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has officially received his Letters of Credence, clearing the way for him to begin his assignment as Nigeria's High Commissioner to South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini.

Sharing the development on his verified X account, Fani-Kayode said the presentation followed the receipt of the required diplomatic agrément and the formal handover of his credentials on behalf of President Bola Tinubu by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye.

He explained that his next step would be to travel to Pretoria, where he will formally present his credentials to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa before assuming his diplomatic responsibilities.

Fani-Kayode described the appointment as both a privilege and a divine opportunity to once again serve Nigeria, recalling that he first served the country as Minister of Aviation two decades ago.

Expressing appreciation to President Tinubu for the confidence reposed in him, he pledged to discharge his responsibilities with commitment while seeking the prayers and support of Nigerians.

He also attributed the appointment to God's grace, saying he remained grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Nigeria's diplomatic engagement with South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini.
