Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu will spend part of his holiday considering the final list of prospective Nigerian envoys to various countries and international organisations. The appointments have been delayed due to a backlog of $1 billion in arrears and high overhead costs, which have hindered the recruitment process. As a result, Tinubu will review the remaining candidates for ambassadorial positions. The selection process is expected to be finalized during his stay in Lagos.
