President Bola Tinubu has asked the senate to confirm the appointment of three non-career ambassadors.
Tinubu made the request in a letter addressed to the senate and read on Wednesday by Godswill Akpabio, the senate president.
Tinubu said the nominations were made in accordance with section 171 (1), (2)(c) and (4) of the 1999 constitution (as amended).
The nominees are Kayode Are of Ogun state, Aminu Dalhatu of Jigawa state, and Ayodele Oke of Oyo state.
Tinubu urged the senate to “consider and confirm the appointments expeditiously”.
The letter was referred to the senate committee on foreign affairs, which has been directed to report back within one week.
The appointments come nearly two years after Tinubu recalled all Nigerian ambassadors, both career and non‑career, in September 2023.
The nominees are expected to assume postings at key missions globally once confirmed, providing representation for the Nigeria.
