Tinubu Mourns As Nigeria’s Ambassador To France, Kayode Laro Dies

198

President Bola Tinubu has expressed sadness following the death of Nigeria’s Ambassador to France, Kayode Laro.

At the time of filing this report, the cause of his death could not be confirmed.

The President in a statement released through his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale on Saturday extended his condolences to Ambassador Laro’s family, the diplomatic community, as well as the government and people of Kwara State.

President Tinubu, who recognised Ambassador Laro’s tireless dedication to fostering mutually beneficial diplomatic ties between Nigeria and France during his tenure, saluted his commitment to diplomacy and the impactful role he played in ensuring the success of his first foreign trip to France in June this year following assumption of office.

The president stated that having devoted himself to his duties during 35 illustrious years in service as a Nigerian diplomat, spanning from 1983 to 2018, he remembered Ambassador Laro’s profound grasp of geo-political intricacies and how he aptly harnessed his wealth of skill and experience in multilateral diplomacy to advance worldwide peace, security, and development.

President Tinubu said the appointment of the Fellow of the National Defence College as an Ambassador in July 2020 to represent Nigeria in France was in recognition of his widely respected expertise and dedication.

The President said, “Our nation has lost an exemplary diplomat. I will always hold cherished memories of my interactions with him during my attendance at the New Global Financial Pact Summit in France this June. His unwavering dedication and strong sense of duty left an indelible mark. May his legacy continue to inspire us to strive for a more harmonious and prosperous world.”

President Tinubu prayed that Almighty God would continue to console Ambassador Laro’s family, friends, and colleagues while granting eternal rest to the departed soul.
