The Senate today confirmed 64 ambassadorial nominees put forward by President Bola Tinubu, including former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode and ex-presidential aide Reno Omokri.
The approval followed the adoption of a report by the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, whose chairman, Sani Bello confirmed that there were no petitions against the nominees.
This brings the total number of confirmed envoys to 67, after three non-career nominees were cleared earlier in the week.
Those confirmed include former interior minister Abdulrahman Dambazau, former INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu, and ex-governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Okezie Ikpeazu.
The confirmations follow months of diplomatic vacancies after envoys were recalled in 2023.
