President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Abuja gave letters of credence to 93 newly appointed ambassadors, with a call on them to shun ethnicity and promote national unity in their countries of assignment.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ambassadors were 62 Heads of Mission, 24 Deputy Heads of Mission and seven ambassadors-in-situ, who would be domiciled in Nigeria.
President Jonathan admonished the ambassadors to project Nigeria as an indivisible national entity.
“You are the torchbearers of our vision and purposes as we engage the world. Go out and serve the nation with dedication and pride.
“And you must not forget to know that you are posted to your countries of accreditation representing the president and not your states or your ethnic nationality
“Where ever you are posted, you do all within your competence and power to make sure that you project Nigeria as a united indivisible nation and you must encourage that unity among our people in the Diaspora.
