Folarin Fani-Kayode has officially taken up his post as Nigeria's ambassador to South Africa, presenting his Letter of Credence to President Cyril Ramaphosa in a formal ceremony at the presidency.
Fani-Kayode was among ambassadors from 15 countries who went through the same process that day. Each envoy was formally introduced and given the opportunity to address the room before the proceedings wrapped up.
With the credential presentation complete, Fani-Kayode now formally begins his diplomatic duties in Pretoria. What that chapter looks like for Nigeria-South Africa relations remains to be seen.
