Mexico Clears Reno Omokri as Nigeria’s Ambassador

Mexico has formally accepted Reno Omokri’s appointment as Nigeria’s ambassador after Mexican Chargé d’Affaires José Manuel Briseño Flores delivered the agreement to Babagana Wakil, director of protocol at Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Abuja. Omokri will represent Nigeria in Mexico, with concurrent accreditation to Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. President Bola Tinubu nominated him in November 2025, and the Senate confirmed his nomination in December. Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry had previously said that Mexico and Japan were still to issue their agreements.
