Ambassador designates, including Femi Fani-Kayode, Reno Omokri, Abdulrahman Dambazau, and former Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, arrived at the National Assembly for their ambassadorial screening. Their appearance signals the commencement of a key phase in the confirmation process for Nigeria’s latest diplomatic appointments.

The nominees are scheduled to be screened by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, where they will be assessed on their credentials, foreign policy perspectives, and readiness to represent Nigeria on the global stage. The exercise is part of constitutional requirements preceding their final confirmation.

The session has drawn significant public and political interest, given the prominence of several nominees and the strategic importance of Nigeria’s foreign engagements. The outcomes of the screening are expected to shape the next chapter of the country’s diplomatic representation.
