DOHA NIGERIA’S Ambassador-designate to Qatar HE Shuaibu Adamu Ahmed arrived in Doha on Thursday.
He was accompanied by Head of Chancery at the Nigerian embassy in the UAE Abdulkadir Maccido.
President of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) Qatar OJ Millar led NIDO executives and members of the Nigerian community to receive the ambassador-designate on arrival at the Doha International Airport.
Speaking on arrival Shuaibu said, “I have just arrived as the first resident ambassador of Nigeria to Qatar. As we all know the important role Qatar is playing in the world, both economically and politically, Nigeria felt it is quite strategic that it establishes a full resident diplomatic mission here.” He added, “Previously, the Nigerian mission in the UAE was covering Qatar but because of the greater importance of Qatar, Nigeria believes that there should be a resident ambassador in Qatar. We hope in the next few days, we will get the mission running by getting the chancery and all other formalities we need to do.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar has received us and they have assured us that they would provide all the necessary support to get the mission established within the shortest possible period of time.” Expressing his joy over the numbers of Nigerians that welcomed him at the airport, the envoy said, “I am grateful to Nigerians in Doha for this warm reception. It is a big surprise that members of Nigerian community here have gathered in large number at the airport today to welcome us. I want to assure you that we are here now and we are ready to promote the image of Nigeria.
In the next few days, I hope that Nigerians in Qatar will continue to provide us with necessary support to get the mission going.” On his perception of Nigerians in Qatar, Shuaibu said, “Nigerian Ambassador to the UAE Ibrahin Auwalu has given me assurance that Nigerians in Qatar are law abiding. Also, the chief of protocol, who received me on arrival, shared similar views.
He also told me that the Qatari government is proud that Nigerians are law abiding and they don’t have any problem with them.” The new ambassador is to present his credentials to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the coming days and meet members of the Nigerian community as well.
