President Bola Tinubu has nominated Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, the immediate past sole administrator of Rivers State and a former Chief of Naval Staff, as a non-career ambassador.

The President also named Ita Enang, a former senator; Chioma Ohakim, former Imo State first lady; and Abdulrahman Dambazau, former minister of interior and ex-Chief of Army Staff, as non-career ambassadors.

This is coming barely a week after Tinubu transmitted the names of Reno Omokri, former INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu and others to the Senate for consideration as ambassadors.

The President’s Nominations were read on the floor of Senate earlier today.
