The Senate has confirmed the nomination of all career and non-career ambassadors submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with the exception of the nominee from Yobe State, who passed away before confirmation.
The confirmation on Thursday, followed the consideration of a report by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, which screened the nominees and found them suitable for appointment.
According to the lawmakers, the nominees met the constitutional and professional requirements for the diplomatic roles.
The Senate, however, excluded the nomination from Yobe State following the death of the nominee, with senators observing that a replacement would be required before confirmation could be concluded for the state.
The approved ambassadors are expected to be deployed to various diplomatic missions, where they will serve as Nigeria’s representatives in strengthening bilateral relations and advancing the country’s foreign policy objectives.
