President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has promised to review Nigeria’s foreign missions with the aim of cutting them down. President BUHARI made the disclosure after a briefing by the permanent secretary of the federal ministry of foreign affairs, BULUS LOLO. The President said the review would determine the number of essential missions Nigeria needs to maintain abroad so that appropriate standards and quality can be maintained.  

He noted that there was no point for the country to operate missions all over the world with dilapidated facilities and demoralized staff, even when the need for some of the missions was questionable. The Permanent secretary of the Federal Ministry of foreign affairs BULUS LOLO told newsmen that the president has directed that a committee be constituted to look into the matter.
