Senate approves 64 Ambassadorial nominees

The Senate has approved the appointment of 64 nominees for career and non-career ambassadorial positions after considering a report presented by its Committee on Foreign Affairs. 

The approval came after the committee’s chairman, Senator Sani Bello, laid the findings before the chamber, with lawmakers adopting the recommendations through a voice vote.

However, the exercise was not without concern, as Senator Sahabi Yau drew attention to the fact that no nominee from Zamfara State was included in the list.

He urged that the issue be noted, stressing the need for fair representation in such key national appointments.

He called on the Senate to formally draw the President’s attention to the omission.

Addressing the issue, the Senate President acknowledged the observation, noting that the list before the chamber was not exhaustive.

He assured senators that the matter would be communicated to the President, adding that more ambassadorial nominees are expected and that Zamfara State would not be left out in subsequent appointments.
