BREAKING: Tinubu Sends Fresh Ambassadorial Nominations to Senate, Names Ibas, Ita Enang, Dambazau
President Bola Tinubu has forwarded a new list of non-career ambassadorial nominees to the Nigerian Senate, featuring Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, the immediate past sole administrator of Rivers State and former Chief of Naval Staff.
Also included are Ita Enang, a former senator; Chioma Ohakim, one-time First Lady of Imo State; and Abdulrahman Dambazau, former Interior Minister and ex–Chief of Army Staff. These names were not part of the earlier batch of ambassadorial nominees released by the Presidency.

The announcement came during Thursday’s plenary when Senate President Godswill Akpabio read a letter from Tinubu, urging lawmakers to fast-track consideration so the administration can fill key diplomatic posts without delay.
Akpabio has directed the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs to screen the nominees and submit its report within one week.
This latest move follows Tinubu’s earlier nominations of Reno Omokri, former Presidential Aide; Femi Fani-Kayode, ex–Aviation Minister; and Mahmood Yakubu, immediate past INEC Chairman, as ambassadors.
