The Nigeria Senate yesterday confirmed the nominations of three non-career ambassadors, the first set of nominees submitted by President Tinubu two weeks ago and screened by the upper chamber last week.
Those confirmed are Lateef Kayode Kolawole Are from Ogun State, Aminu Muhammad Dalhatu from Jigawa State, and Emmanuel Ayodele Oke, CFR, from Oyo State.
The confirmations followed the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign affairs, which conducted the screening exercise.
Sixty-four other ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the senate and screened are yet to be confirmed.
President Tinubu forwarded the names of the three non-career ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation on November 26.
It was the first list of ambassadorial nominees sent to the Senate by Tinubu since he became the President on May 29, 2023.
