Need to configure WAN IP to connect to public IP

Good day friends!
ALL WAN AND PUBLIC IPS I'M WRITING HERE ARE JUST EXAMPLES AND NOT THE REAL ONES.
I am being provided a public static IP address by the building management at our office (I'll just call it for example 22.222.22.222)
I have nicely set up my router 's LAN as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
My device on a static internal ip 192.168.0.101 serves up the NGinx splash page nicely within the LAN.
Now, I also have my WAN set up with the detected dynamic IP that the IT company that manages the buildng have pointed to my router (let's call it an example number say 10.10.95.25)
My config in the router would therefore be:
Connection type Dynamic IP
IP Address: 10.10.95.25
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.10.95.1
When I serve up http://10.10.95.25 I get a nice rendered NGinx page like before (from inside and outside the LAN as expected)
Everything is good so far, but....
I don't know how to point the WAN IP to public IP that the IT firm points to the WAN IP (i.e. pointing the 10.10.95.25 to the 22.222.22.222) via settings in the router.
I've confirmed on whatsmyip.com that the public static ip is the one that points to my router - but cant connect to it!
Can anyone give me any good ideas of how I can do this in the router?
Many thanks!
Paul
