The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Usman Dakingari as a non-career ambassador.
The upper legislative chamber also confirmed Ismail Yusuf as
chairman and chief executive officer of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria
(NAHCON).
On February 10, President Bola Tinubu asked the senate to
confirm the appointment of Dakingari as a non-career ambassador.
Tinubu also sought the senate’s confirmation of Yusuf as
chairman of NAHCON on February 17.
The confirmations followed the consideration of a report by
the senate committee on foreign affairs.
Sani Bello, senator representing Niger north and chairman of
the committee, presented the report during plenary.
Bello said the committee screened the nominees and found
them suitable for the positions.
“The committee, having already screened the nominees by Mr.
President, found them suitable for the positions for which they were nominated
for,” he said.
“Having screened them successfully, on behalf of the
committee, I would like to thank the Senate and Mr. President, for all the
support and cooperation.”
Following the presentation of the report, the senate
confirmed the nominees.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio congratulated the nominees
after their confirmation.
“I congratulate the nominees and wish them very fruitful
endeavours in their various assignments,” Akpabio said.
“I thank the president for fishing out the right people for
national assignments. Congratulations to all.”
