Florence Ajimobi Begins Official Duties As Nigeria’s Ambassador To Austria

According to Ireporter Online, Florence Ajimobi, widow of the late former Governor of Oyo State, has officially assumed duty as the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Austria and the International Organisations in Vienna.

It was gathered that Ajimobi announced her arrival in Vienna via a Facebook post on Friday, where she confirmed that she had resumed her diplomatic responsibilities in her new capacity.

She stated that she was warmly received at the VIP Wing of Vienna International Airport by the Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the Embassy and Permanent Mission, Muyiwa Onifade, alongside home-based officers, local staff, and members of the Nigerian community in Austria. The welcoming delegation also included representatives of various groups such as the Oduduwa Group, Igbo Cultural Group, Nigeria-Austria Friendship Group, Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), and Nigerian students residing in Austria.

Ajimobi expressed appreciation for the reception accorded her, noting her readiness to strengthen diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Austria as well as deepen cooperation with international organisations based in Vienna.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu had in November 2025 forwarded a list of 32 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, comprising both career and non-career ambassadors slated for strategic diplomatic postings across the globe.
