Tinubu Nominates Four Non-Career Ambassadors to Key Posts

President Bola Tinubu nominated four prominent figures as non-career ambassadors on Thursday in Abuja. He sent the list to the Senate to fill vital diplomatic roles swiftly. The nominees include former military leaders and political aides.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the president’s letter during plenary. He referred the names to the Committee on Foreign Affairs for screening. Officials expect a report back within one week.

Tinubu urged quick action to strengthen Nigeria’s global ties. The picks draw from seasoned public servants ready to serve abroad.

• Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, former Sole Administrator of Rivers State and ex-Chief of Naval Staff
• Ita Enang, former presidential aide
• Chioma Ohakim, ex-First Lady of Imo State
• Abdulrahman Dambazau, former Minister of Interior and ex-Chief of Army Staff

These appointments signal trust in experienced hands to bridge nations. In a world of shifting alliances, such voices carry the weight of quiet diplomacy for a people seeking stronger bonds.
