U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard M. Mills Jr., Recalled by President Donald Trump

President Donald J. Trump has recalled the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard M. Mills Jr., as part of a wide-ranging diplomatic reshuffle affecting nearly 30 U.S. ambassadors and senior envoys worldwide.

The recall is part of the Trump administration’s effort to realign U.S. diplomatic representation with its foreign policy priorities. Africa is reported to be one of the regions most affected by the move.

Ambassador Mills, a career diplomat, assumed office in July 2024 after confirmation by the U.S. Senate. His recall does not imply wrongdoing and follows the long-standing presidential prerogative to replace ambassadors, especially during a change in administration.

The development comes amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between the United States and Nigeria on security, trade, and governance issues.
