Bianca Ojukwu, recently confirmed as Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, expressed her commitment to President Tinubu’s foreign policy vision, highlighting the importance of Nigeria’s active role on the international stage. Ojukwu, who previously served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, noted that she intends to leverage her experience to support Tinubu’s approach, which includes economic partnerships and reinforcing Nigeria’s influence within Africa and globally. She views her appointment as an opportunity to continue her diplomatic work and contribute to policies aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s global relations, particularly in trade, investment, and regional security.
Ojukwu has already commended the supportive process that led to her confirmation, praising Senator Basheer Lado for his guidance during the Senate’s review of her nomination. As she steps into her role, Ojukwu’s expertise is expected to be a vital asset to advancing Nigeria’s diplomatic goals in alignment with Tinubu’s administration.
