The Nigerian Senate has formally confirmed former Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as Nigeria’s ambassador, bringing to a close the confirmation process for one of President Bola Tinubu’s key diplomatic nominees.
The confirmation session, held on Thursday at the National Assembly, saw a smooth and largely celebratory process.
During the proceedings, a senator reportedly quipped, “Take a bow and go,” acknowledging Ugwuanyi’s political and administrative experience before voting him through without contest.
Ugwuanyi, who served as Enugu State Governor from 2015 to 2023, is among several high-profile individuals nominated by the President for ambassadorial roles.
The Senate also confirmed several other nominees.
