The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Budapest, located at Virányos út 4/a, a prime area of the twelfth district, was opened in 1992 after twenty-eight years of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Hungary.
The history of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Hungary dates back to 1964, with Hungary having diplomatic presence in Nigeria since that period. The interests of Nigeria were initially overseen on concurrent accreditation from Warsaw, Poland and subsequently from Belgrade, Yugoslavia before effective presence in Budapest, in 1992. The Embassy presently has Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina as its countries of concurrent accreditation.
The Embassy performs representational duties on behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on political, economic, social, educational and cultural issues, as well promoting trade ties and supporting new avenues for economic partnership between Nigeria and the countries of accreditation. The Embassy also provides consular, immigration and other services to Nigerians and the nationals of other countries.
The Embassy is currently headed by Mrs. Vivienne Ekwora Ogonyi in the capacity of Chargé d'Affaires a.i.
