President Muhammadu Buhari, is currently working on closing some of Nigeria’s 119 Foreign Missions around the world, the Nigerian Foreign Minister has said.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said that though it is expensive to close a country’s embassy, it will be beneficial in the long run.
Onyeama stated at the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Forum, in Abuja, on Sunday, that the reduction of Nigeria’s Foreign Missions, was on the agenda of the Buhari administration. He however, did not mention the number of Missions to be closed.
“The government is following up on that (closing some Missions), and we have sort of prepared the road map; we have started on the implementation of that, and made also recommendations in that context.
“Paradoxically, closing Missions are extremely expensive.
“At first sight, it seems obvious that when you close it, you are saving cost, but you will actually find that the cost of closing is almost prohibitive.
“But in the long run, it will be cheaper, but in the immediate and short term, it is expensive.”
