The Senate on Thursday confirmed three new ambassadorial nominees
recommended to it by President Muhammadu Buhari early this year.
The confirmation followed the consideration of the report of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs chaired by Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, which
had earlier screened the nominees.
The nominees who were confirmed are: Mr. Christopher C. Chejina from
Delta State; Mr. Bukar Kolo, Yobe State; and Mr. M. A. Mabdul from Benue
State, respectively.
Presenting the committee’s report, Senator Sunmonu said all the nominees
met the criteria to be representatives of the country abroad and
therefore recommended their confirmation by the upper legislative
chamber.
