DICAN felicitates newly appointed ambassadors to Nigeria, calls for partnership

The Diplomatic Correspondents’ Association of Nigeria (DICAN), has congratulated the Australian, Jamaican and Romania High Commissioners and Ambassador to Nigeria.

In a statement signed by the Association’s chairman, Mr Frederick Idehai, he also called for partnership with the newly-appointed Ambassadors and the Diplomatic Community which guarantees quality media reporting and sustains the existing economic, cultural, military, education, energy and diplomatic relations with Nigeria.

The DICAN therefore “assures the High Commissioner of Jamaica, Lincoln Downer; High Commissioner of Australia, Leilani Bin-Juda and the Ambassador of Romania, Florin Talapan of its support in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and relevant laws to ensure that they succeed in their endeavours,” the statement partly read.

The Association also used the occasion to appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar who was recently Conferred DICAN’s GRAND PATRON, for the nation’s foreign policy direction anchored on Democracy, Development, Demography and Diaspora (4D).

DICAN, however, urged the newly appointed Ambassadors and the entire Diplomatic Community to embrace the 4D policy for enhanced mutual relationships.

Diplomatic Correspondents’ Association of Nigeria (DICAN) is an umbrella body of over fifty (50) Correspondents and Editors from the Electronic, Print, New Media (Online) and Wire Services officially assigned by their Media Organisations to report the diplomatic beat.
