President Bola Tinubu has transmitted a list of 65 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the President’s letter at plenary, requesting the Senate to screen and confirm the nominees.
The list comprises 34 career ambassadors and high commissioners, and 31 non-career nominees.
Among the career nominees are Sulu-Gambari Olatunde from Kwara State and Segun Ige from Edo State, while the non-career list includes Senator Folasade Grace Bent (Adamawa), Senator Solomon Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom), and Senator Jimoh Ibrahim (Ondo).
The Senate referred all 65 names to the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, which is expected to complete the screening within one week.
