The claim
“The Senate confirmed Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of Foreign Affairs.”
Senate plenary confirmation after screening.
Our verdict
Mostly True
The Senate confirmed Enikanolaiye on 6 May 2026, but as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, not the senior foreign minister.
What we found
President Tinubu nominated him as Minister of State; Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu became the substantive Minister of Foreign Affairs. The confirmation is right; the title is not.
