Pres Buhari resubmit names of non-career ambassadors for senate confirmation.

This was contained in a Executive Communication read during plenary by the Senate President, BUKOLA SARAKI.

The new list includes several new names. But retired Justice GEORGE OGUNTADE from Lagos State and AHMED IBETO from Niger State maintained their nominations.

In his comments, Senator PHILIP ADUDA who represents the Federal Capital Territory, thanked President BUHARI for nominating a non-career ambassador from the FCT.

You will recall that the Senate had rejected the first list of non-career ambassadorial nominees which was greeted with over two hundred and fifty petitions, as well as two nominees who turned down the offer.
