Tinubu submits fresh ambassadorial list to Senate, Ibas, Dambazau make cut
President Tinubu has submitted a new list of non-career ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, including prominent figures like Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, Ita Enang, Chioma Ohakim, and Abdulrahman Dambazau. This follows a recent submission of 32 ambassadorial nominees encompassing both career and non-career diplomats. Key nominees include Mahmud Yakubu, Reno Omokri, and several former governors and ministers. Tinubu seeks expedited Senate consideration for these nominees, who will represent Nigeria in key nations and international organizations. The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has been directed to screen the nominees within one week. These appointments aim to fill vacant diplomatic posts with both seasoned diplomats and individuals with specialized expertise.
