BREAKING: Nigerian High Commission Media Coordinator In Ghana Resigns, Alleges Pressure To Keep Silent On N2Bn Allocation According to his resignation letter, a copy of which was shared with SaharaReporters by sources, Omon resigned with effect from August 27, 2026.

Destiny Austine Omon, the Media Coordinator at the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana, has resigned from his position, revealing that he was under pressure to remain silent on matters raised by Nigerians, faced restrictions on reporting, and experienced irregular payments. Omon submitted his resignation on August 27, 2026, stating that he could no longer fulfill his responsibilities in the current circumstances.

His decision was influenced by concerns over pressure to stay quiet about the reported ₦2 billion budget allocation, as well as restrictions on reporting issues affecting Nigerians in Ghana and the low and irregular payment of his stipend. Despite his departure, Omon expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and for the experience he gained during his tenure.
