President Bola Tinubu has submitted the names of three non-career ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
The nominees are Kayode Are from Ogun State, Aminu Dalhatu from Jigawa State, and Ayodele Oke from Oyo State.
The announcement was made during Wednesday’s plenary session by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who read Tinubu’s letter.
The President stated that the nominations were made in line with Section 171 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and urged the Senate to consider and confirm the appointments promptly.
Akpabio referred the nominees to the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, led by Senator Sani Bello, for review, with a directive to report back within one week.
