The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the nomination of Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, wife of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, as an ambassador, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Ojukwu's confirmation followed the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs following which her nomination was unanimously approved by the senators.
Bianca, a former beauty queen, was nominated as an ambassador by President Goodluck Jonathan along with 87 others but was unable to attend the screening with other nominees following the death of her husband on November 10, 2011.
