President Bola Tinubu has forwarded the names of 32 Ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, days after he sent the first batch of three names.
This was revealed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga
He stated that in two separate letters to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, President Tinubu asked the Senate to consider and confirm the 15 nominees as Career Ambassadors and the 17 nominees as non-Career Ambassadors.
The statement also noted that the nominees would know their diplomatic assignments after their confirmation by the Senate.
The recently released list contained four women on the career ambassadors’ list and six women on the non-career ambassadors’ list.
Last week, President Tinubu forwarded three Ambassadorial nominees for screening and confirmation.
The new nominees are expected to be posted to countries which maintains excellent and strategic bilateral relations with Nigeria, such as China, India, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, among others.
