Buhari Sends 47 Names To Senate For Confirmation As Ambassadors

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent a list of 47 names of Nigerians for ambassadorial positions to the Senate.

The list contains only career diplomats, unlike in the past when politicians have been made ambassadors.

The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, read the letter containing their names on the floor at plenary today.

However, he said that their Curricula Vitae were attached with the document.

Those nominated by the president will be screened by the Senate, after which those who scale through the screening process will be confirmed as ambassadors.
