The submission of the letter, which held on Wednesday  at the WTO General Council meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, was attended by two other Ambassadors of Nigeria to UN and Consular issues in Bern.

President Muhammdu Buhari had few weeks ago approved the appointment of Abdulhamid, as the new Nigeria’s Ambassador to the World Trade Organization.

The appointment was contained in a letter sent by the Office of the Chief-of-Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari to the Minister of Industry Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo.

The statement read in part, “The President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR has approved the appointment Dr. Adamu Mohammed Abdulhamid, as the new Nigeria’s Ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Geneva Switzerland for a period of (4) four years.”

Until his appointment, Adamu, was the Acting Head Chargé d’ Affaires of Nigeria Trade Office to the WTO, Geneva, Switzerland.
