This distinguished appointment reflects the confidence reposed in her wealth of experience, diplomatic competence, and commitment to advancing Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives. Her emergence at this important time in Nigeria–Benin relations is both timely and strategic, particularly as both nations continue to strengthen bilateral cooperation in trade, economic development, regional integration, and cross-border collaboration.

We are confident that Ambassador Mopelola will bring her vast expertise, dedication, and professionalism to further deepen the historic ties of friendship, cooperation, and mutual prosperity that exist between the peoples and governments of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin.

As she assumes this important diplomatic responsibility, we wish her great success in her mission and assure her of our continued support and cooperation in advancing initiatives that promote regional trade, peace, and sustainable development across the West African sub-region.

Once again, congratulations to Ambassador Ibrahim Adeola Mopelola on this prestigious national assignment.

Signed

Alhaji Fatai Adegboyega Shokunbi

President
