BREAKING: Despite protests, Senate confirms ex-FUOYE VC Fasina as non-career ambassador

The Nigerian Senate on Thursday confirmed Professor Abayomi Fasina, former Vice-Chancellor of FUOYE, as a non-career ambassador. The confirmation followed a report by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, which investigated allegations of sexual harassment and human rights violations. Some senators opposed the clearance, but Senate President Godswill Akpabio backed the report. A civil society coalition had earlier protested the nomination.
