The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs on Thursday concluded the screening of the 47 ambassadorial nominees.
The screening, which lasted three days, took place at the National Assembly complex in Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The Chairman of the committee, Sen. Monsurat Sunmonu, commended members of the committee and the media for their efforts in ensuring the success of the exercise.
“We give Glory to God that 47 people have been screened. The exercise was started on Tuesday.
“On behalf of the Senate being led by our Senate President, Bukola Saraki, I will like to express my gratitude to my colleagues for sacrificing their time.
“They laid petitions last week and discussed the petition and agreed to screen the 47 nominees.
“This is a big sacrifice. We decided to cancel everything and put national interest first,” NAN quoted Sunmonu as saying on the matter.
President Muhammadu Buhari on June 9 sent a list of 47 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for consideration and confirmation.
