President Muhammadu Buhari has requested that the Senate screen and confirm one career and 41 non-career ambassadors for appointment.
Buhari made the request in a letter read on the floor by the Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Wednesday.
The nominees include Debo Adesina (Oyo), Exco-Minister of State for Defence, Ademola Seriki (Lagos), and Mr. Dare Sunday Awoniyi (Kogi).
The president also requested that, the Upper Chamber confirm Mr. Sulyman Sani as a Career Ambassador representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This delighted Senator Philip Aduda who is a representative of the the FCT district. The Senator who had previously protested that the FCT had been neglected in the earlier Ambassadorial list forwarded to the chamber.
Phillip Aduda, went further to thank the Senate President for helping to ensure that the FCT was represented in the appointment of the Career Ambassadors.
Aduda also expressed his belief that, Lawan would also intervene to ensure that the Federal Capital Territory is represented in the appointment of Non-Career Ambassadors.
