Akpabio Urges Senate to Fast-track Screening of Tinubu's 65 Ambassadorial Nominees

Former Governor Bola Tinubu submitted a list of 65 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate, with a mix of career diplomats and non-career individuals. The nominees include prominent figures like Sulu Gambari, Solomon Ita Enang, Ibok Et Iba, Abdulrahman Dambazau, Grace Bent, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Godswill Akpabio, the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs Chair, has requested prompt confirmation of the nominees, emphasizing the need for expeditious screening. This move comes after the Senate previously screened three ambassadorial nominees.

The list features a diverse range of nominees from different states across Nigeria.
