Amin Dalhatu, Nigeria’s high commissioner to the United Kingdom, gave his letter of credence to King Charles III at St James’s Palace.

He was accompanied by his wife, Yasmine, and senior officers of the mission.

According to a statement issued by the Nigerian high commission on Thursday, Dalhatu conveyed greetings from President Bola Tinubu and Nigeria’s continued goodwill to the UK.

The high commissioner reaffirmed his commitment to further strengthening the longstanding relations and cooperation between the two countries in areas of mutual interest.

Dalhatu, who hails from Jigawa, was Nigeria’s former ambassador to South Korea. He handed over the letter on Wednesday, which officially started his work as a diplomat in the UK.

He has also worked in different roles inside the ministry of foreign affairs.

The diplomat was part of the first group of ambassador nominees approved by the senate for overseas assignments.

The Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce congratulated Dalhatu on the commencement of his duties as Nigeria’s top diplomat in the UK.

In a statement, the chamber said Dalhatu takes office at a defining moment in UK–Nigeria relations, following Tinubu’s recent state visit to the UK and amid growing bilateral trade and cooperation between the two nations.
