The Federal Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has appointed His Excellency, Ahmed Abdulhamid Mallammadori, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Republic of Turkey.

Ambassador Ahmed Abdulhamid Mallammadori is coming to Turkey with a wealth of experience in Governance especially in the area of Energy. He is poised to further improve the warm and cordial relations between Nigeria and Turkey.

Relations between Nigeria and Turkey are in an upward swing. The fillip was made possible with the restoration of relations between the two countries and the appointment of His Excellency Ahmed Abdulhamid Malammadori as Nigerian Ambassador to Turkey in May, 2008. Before his appointment by the then President Olusegun Obasanjo, Malammadori had been the minister of state for energy. Before then, he was a member of parliament in 2002 and had been a federal commissioner in the Federal Character Commission, responsibilities which, obviously, prepared him for his present task of protecting and projecting the image of Nigeria in Turkey.
