THE Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has
begun the screening of Ambassadorial nominees
forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu
Buhari.
There was, however, drama as two of the nominees,
who appeared before the Senator Monsurat
Sunmonu-led committee could not recite properly
stanzas of the National Anthem and the Pledge.
One of the nominees, Vivian Okeke, from Anambra
State failed when she was asked to sing the
National Anthem.

During her screening, Mrs Okeke was asked by
Monsurat Summonu, the chairman of the
committee, to sing the National Anthem. Mrs Okeke
during the recital, mumbled the last stanza of the
National Anthem but was aided by a member of the
committee, Senator James Manager.
She was the first nominee to be screened of the 47
ambassadorial nominees.
However, the nominee said the three major changes
that should be made must be in the area of fighting
corruption, insurgency and diversification of the
economy.
She also said that returnees should be received
when the country puts in effort, even as she
stressed the need for the country to look into the
area of financing and salary payments.
