United States President Donald Trump has recalled the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, alongside 29 other career diplomats serving in ambassadorial and senior embassy roles.
The recall affects officials posted to key diplomatic missions and is part of a broader shake-up within the U.S. foreign service under the Trump administration. While the White House has not released detailed reasons for each recall, the move is understood to align with ongoing efforts to reorganize diplomatic appointments and replace some career diplomats with new nominees.
Ambassador Mills, a seasoned diplomat, has represented U.S. interests in Nigeria during a period marked by security, economic, and governance engagements between both countries. His recall signals an imminent transition in Washington’s diplomatic leadership in Abuja, pending the appointment or confirmation of a successor.
Further details surrounding the recall of the diplomats are expected to emerge, with official statements anticipated from the U.S. State Department.
