The confirmation came on Tuesday after lawmakers considered and adopted the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, chaired by Senator Sani Abubakar, who represents Niger North.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had nominated Ndanusa for the diplomatic position before the committee screened him.
“The nomination of Engineer Sani Muhammad Ndanusa is hereby confirmed.”
The Senate President congratulated Ndanusa and expressed confidence that he would use his professional experience to promote Nigeria’s foreign policy interests and strengthen the country’s relationships with other nations.
