The Nigeria government, through the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has called Consulate General of Nigeria in Saudi Arabia, Ambassador Muhammad Yunusa, back to the headquarters.
Yunusa, according to Daily Trust, was summoned to Abuja for urgent consultations over alleged non-cooperation with Saudi Arabia authorities.
The Ministry’s permanent secretary, Amb. Mustapha Sulaiman, signed the letter, dated February 18, 2019.
According to the Ministry, the summon was to enable the envoy respond to the complaints by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The letter said, “On the authority of the Honourable Minister, I have the duty to recall you to Headquarters for consultations, as a matter of urgency.
“This is necessary to enable Headquarters to have your response to the complaints by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on your alleged non-cooperation with the host authorities, a situation which has the potential of straining the cordial relations between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
“Kindly hand over the affairs of the Mission to the most senior Foreign Service Officer and report to Headquarters for consultation.
“Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.â€
