The statement on social network X (Twitter) stated: "President Bola Tinubu has directed to recall all ambassadors (diplomats or persons appointed by the President) around the world to their home countries."
However, Nigeria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) in New York and Geneva was exempted from this summons in the context of the High-level Week of the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 75) in New York scheduled to take place from September 22-25.
Nigeria currently has 109 diplomatic missions worldwide, comprising 76 embassies, 22 high commissions and 11 consulates.
President Tinubu, who has embarked on the country's boldest reforms in decades, is expected to hold talks with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the General Assembly and also meet leaders from Brazil, India, South Korea and Germany at the upcoming G20 Summit.
