According to the British government, Vowles is a seasoned diplomat with extensive experience in foreign service.
He previously served as the UK ambassador to Zimbabwe and has occupied several senior roles within the FCDO.

Further details regarding his resumption date and diplomatic priorities are expected in the coming weeks.
His appointment comes at a time when the United Kingdom and Nigeria continue to deepen cooperation in trade, security, education, climate action and economic development.
As High Commissioner, Vowles will represent the British government and King Charles III in Nigeria while overseeing diplomatic relations, trade and investment partnerships, consular services and cultural engagements between both countries.
