Nigeria’s Ambassador to Qatar, Mahmood Yakubu, held high-level diplomatic meetings in Doha on Sunday aimed at creating employment opportunities for Nigerians and deepening energy cooperation.
Ambassador Yakubu was received in audience by Qatari Minister of Labour Ali bin Saeed bin Samikh Al Marri, where discussions focused on opening up more job prospects for Nigerian nationals. The envoy noted that the initiative aligns with the "4D Doctrine" of Nigeria’s foreign policy, which prioritises active diaspora engagement.
On the same day, the ambassador hosted a delegation from the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), led by its Secretary-General, Dr Philip Mshelbila, a Nigerian national. The organisation is headquartered in Doha, with Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, currently serving as Chairman of its ministerial meetings
