Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States, Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor, is dead. He reportedly died Thursday night at 85.
Though there is no official announcement yet, competent sources at the foreign affairs ministry confirmed the development.
Nsofor, a retired justice of Nigeria’s Court of Appeal, assumed office as Nigeria’s ambassador to the United States on November 13, 2017.
He succeeded Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, who also died towards the end of his tenure as Nigeria’s ambassador to US.
Born on March 17, 1935, in Oguta, Imo State, Nigeria, Nsofor graduated from London’s now-defunct Holborn College of Law in 1962. He also bagged an LL.M from the London School of Economics in 1964.
