The Senate has completed the screening of the three ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the upper chamber by President Bola Tinubu for confirmation.

They are Kayode Are (Ogun State), Aminu Dalhatu (Jigawa State), and Ayodele Oke (Oyo State).

The nominees, who appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, chaired by Senator Sani Bello (APC, Niger North), were screened by the panel.

The committee’s report is expected to be presented at plenary for consideration and possible confirmation in due course.

Speaking during the session, Senator Bello disclosed that Ayodele Oke had addressed and cleared all allegations previously raised against him.

President Tinubu, in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary last week, requested the confirmation of the three nominees.
