From the Ashiru clan in Ogun State, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru is one of the accomplished Ashiru brothers. Others are the renowned medical practitioner, Professor Dapo Ashiru and Otunba Bimbo Ashiru who is a commissioner in Ogun State.
An accomplished diplomat, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru was Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was relieved of his post last September by President Goodluck Jonathan in a cabinet shake-up. Since his removal from office, little or nothing has been heard of him. Although there are several speculations regarding his whereabouts, one cannot help but notice his longstanding absence which is a far cry from what obtained when he was still in office.
