The Senate has confirmed the nomination of 82-year-old retired Justice Sylvanus Nsofor (Imo), whose appointment was rejected by the lawmakers and renominated by President Muhammadu Buhari, as ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Also confirmed at the plenary on Wednesday, based on the recommendation of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, were Joseph Iji (Ondo) and Yusuf Hinna (Gombe)

Recall that the Senate had in March 2017 rejected the nomination of 82-year-old Justice Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor from Imo State as a non-career ambassador over his refusal to respond appropriately to questions posed to him by the committee members.
