Senate Confirms Sani Ndanusa as Ambassador for Nigeria

On October 20, the Nigerian Senate confirmed Engr. Sani Mohammed Ndanusa as a Non-Career Ambassador/High Commissioner, allowing him to proceed with his formal posting to a foreign mission. This confirmation occurred after the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, chaired by Senator Sani Abubakar of Niger North, presented and adopted its screening report during plenary.

The committee had reviewed Ndanusa's nomination submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Senate President Akpabio presented the recommendations from the Committee of the Whole, which examined the Foreign Affairs Committee's report before the full chamber voted unanimously in favor of the nomination through a voice vote.

Following the vote, Akpabio congratulated Ndanusa, expressing confidence that he would utilize his professional experience to further Nigeria's foreign policy goals and strengthen bilateral relationships at his upcoming diplomatic mission.
