The Senate has confirmed the nomination of 84 ambassadors just as the  senate President David Mark appealed for a proper maintenance of foreign missions.

Mr. Mark said Nigeria should keep open only missions that it was capable of maintaining.

He urged the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs to look at all the foreign missions  to ensure that all those operational were properly maintained.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Mathew Nwagwu while presenting his report to the Senate, said out of the 88 nominees the committee had cleared 84.

He added that three of the nominees were not cleared because they did not answer questions to the satisfaction of members of the committee while one of nominees did not appear for screening.
