Senate Confirms Sani Ndanusa as Nigeria's Ambassador

The Senate confirmed Engineer Sani Muhammad Ndanusa as a non-career ambassador/high commissioner of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This confirmation followed the presentation and adoption of a report by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, chaired by Senator Sani Abubakar.

The committee screened Ndanusa after his nomination by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. During the plenary session, the Senate President presented the committee's recommendations, which were scrutinized by the Committee of the Whole.

Following a unanimous affirmative voice vote by lawmakers, the Senate President formally declared Ndanusa confirmed. He expressed confidence that Ndanusa would utilize his professional experience to advance Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives and strengthen bilateral ties abroad.

With the completion of the legislative screening and confirmation process, Ndanusa is now cleared for formal posting by President Tinubu to represent Nigeria at a foreign mission as part of the Federal Government’s diplomatic corps.
