The Senate has confirmed the appointment of the 64 remaining ambassadorial nominees.
Their confirmations came on Thursday following the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign affairs, which conducted the screening exercise.
Thirty-four (34) of them are career ambassadors while the remaining 30 are non-career ambassadors.
Those confirmed during Plenary include former governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; immediate past chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu; ex-minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri.
Some others in the list include a former governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu; and former deputy governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro.
Apart from these, other career ambassadors and high commissioner-designates were also confirmed by the Senate.
A breakdown of the list showed that there are four women on the career ambassadors’ list and six on the non-career ambassadors’ list.
The Senate had last week confirmed three other non-career ambassadors, bringing the total number of confirmed nominees to 67.
