The nominees are Kayode Are (Ogun), Aminu Dalhatu (Jigawa), and Ayodele Oke (Oyo).
The president, who said the nominations were made in accordance with section 171 (1), (2)(c) and (4) of the 1999 constitution (as amended), urged the Senate to “consider and confirm the appointments expeditiously”.
Tinubu has not appointed an ambassador since assuming office in 2023, an issue condemned by several politicians in Nigeria.
