Letter From Editor Nigeria and Belgium have diplomatic relations in existence dating back to 1969. During their 56th year of diplomacy the new Ambassador of Nigeria to Belgium presented Letters of Credence to His Majesty , Phillip I, King of the Belgians on Wednesday, September 17, 2017 Ambassador Udo made made history as the first female Ambassador of the Federal Republic of of Nigeria to the Kingdom of Belgium. Allegedly, no woman has had the opportunity to be appointed Ambassador of Belgian to Nigeria. Possibly, Ambassador Udo’s presence stirs the pot for change. Ambassador Udo has been described as a fine Foreign Service Officer. She truly is a career diplomat. She’s served as Nigeria’s Missions to the United Nations, then later in appointment as Director of International Organization at the Abuja Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria. Ambassador Udo’s appointment affords great opportunities for collaborations in a myriad of endeavors that include, manufacturing, trade and investment, agriculture, machinery, energy, power production and distribution, sports and culture just to name a few. The anticipation of new business alliances with a network of entrepreneurs and other influential players collaborating together is truly exciting and significant. Let’s enjoy Her Excellency’s story of her Christian upbringing, challenges and victories in her own words. - Dr. B. F. Gibson
