President Higgins received the Ambassador of Nigeria, H.E. Mrs. Ijeoma Chinonyerem Obiezu, on a farewell courtesy call.
Upon their arrival in Ireland, and before they can carry out their duties, new ambassadors must be officially welcomed by the President of Ireland. Ambassadors are officially accredited to Ireland from the moment that the President accepts their Credentials.
Her Excellency, Mrs. Ijeoma Chinonyerem Obiezu, presented her Letters of Credence to President Higgins at a ceremony in Áras an Uachtaráin on 22 September 2021.
At the end of their term, the President invites the Ambassadors on a Courtesy Call to Áras an Uachtaráin, to thank them for their service, hear their experiences in Ireland and discuss the departing Ambassador’s views on issues of relevance to our bilateral relations.
