The Senate has given its approval to a total of 64 nominees appointed for career and non-career ambassadorial roles after reviewing a report submitted by its Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The endorsement followed the presentation of the committee’s findings by its chairman, Senator Sani Bello, with lawmakers subsequently adopting the recommendations.
During deliberations, however, Senator Sahabi Yau expressed concern over the absence of any nominee from Zamfara State in the list.
He called on the Senate to formally draw the President’s attention to the omission.
Addressing the issue, the Senate President acknowledged the observation, noting that the list before the chamber was not exhaustive.
He assured senators that the matter would be communicated to the President, adding that more ambassadorial nominees are expected and that Zamfara State would not be left out in subsequent appointments.
