The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Ede Dafinone has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the nomination of Efe Alexandra Clark-Omeru, as one of the career diplomats for Ambassadorial position, assuring that her choice would greatly impact on the country’s foreign policy.
It would be recalled that Ambassador-Designate Clark-Omeru is one of the 34 career diplomats recently nominated by the President as part of the 68 ambassadors-designate forwarded to the Senate for confirmation.
