The Ambassador of Sweden to Nigeria (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Federal Republic of Nigeria) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Nigeria and government of Nigeria.

History

In conjunction with Nigeria's declaration of independence on 1 October 1960, Swedish Foreign Minister Östen Undén sent a congratulatory telegram to Nigerian Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, stating that the Swedish government recognized Nigeria as a sovereign and independent state. Undén expressed the Swedish government's desire to maintain friendly and cordial relations with Nigeria. Simultaneously, a congratulatory telegram was also sent by the King of Sweden.[1]

In early September 1961, Sweden established an embassy in Lagos, Nigeria. Love Kellberg [sv], the head of a department in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, was appointed as Sweden's first ambassador to Nigeria.[2] On 3 October 1961, Kellberg presented his credentials to Governor-General Nnamdi Azikiwe.[3] In January 1962, Kellberg, who was also accredited as ambassador to Porto-Novo in the Republic of Dahomey, presented his credentials to President Hubert Maga, along with a gift from the King of Sweden.[4]

Sweden's ambassador to Nigeria has, at various times, also been accredited to neighboring countries such as Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger, and Togo.
