nanizle: An ambassador-at-large is a diplomat of the highest rank or a minister who is accredited to represent his or her country internationally.

Unlike an ambassador-in-residence who is usually limited to a country or embassy, the ambassador-at-large is entrusted to operate in several usually neighboring countries, a region or sometimes hold a seat in an international organization like the United Nations and the European Union.

ichidodo: Amen....And may Everybody including boss and family members treat you the way Shekau treats Nigerians....

Olodo rabata.

Did you ever see him support Shekau? He prayed for you to be treated like the person you support so you can see how olodoish you are but it still didn't work because your head is too blocked.

God Bless President Jonathan!

By manufacturing a pseudo-parastatal to Alhaji Tukur who has been in government since independence? That is not being a gentleman, it is a waste of tax payers' resources.

Many are saying the cost of running government in Nigeria is too expensive and we have too many redundant offices with about 70% of our budget devoted to this. Yet our president rather than cut down waste and cost of running government is creating another redundant office.

Can someone tell me of what importance is this office/position to our nation at this time or which of our many problems will this appointment solve?

ceo4eva: President Goodluck Jonathan has appointed former Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Bamanga Tukur as the 'Ambassador at Large".

This was contained in a statement by the media office of Bamanga Tukur, issued to condemn the recent Kaduna bombing.

The statement read in part, "This is
the office of the Ambassador at Large to the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. An Ambassador-at-Large is an envoy who is assigned special duties by the president.
"The Letter from Mr. President, Dr.
Goodluck appointing Dr. Tukur read in part: 'The President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, has approved the appointment of Alhaji Bamanga Mohammed Tukur as Ambassador-At-Large'."

Between 1994 and 1995, Tukur served as Minister for Industries.
Other appointments held include the
following; Vice Chairman of the International Ports and Harbours
Association; Chairman of the International Cargo Handling Association; President/Chairman of
the Governing Council of Institute of
Business Development; Member,
Ghana Investors Advisory Council;
Member, Presidential Council on
Investment of the Republic of Benin in February, 2007; and Member of the Presidential Advisory Council in 2010.

However, Tukur urged Nigerians not
to attach religion to the activities of
Boko Haram.
He added, "Our prayers are with those that lost their lives, wounded and saved from the hands of terrorists.

Our Country is going through some
challenges, the newly appointed Ambassador at Large, Dr. Bamanga Tukur condemned in its entirety the
killings of innocent lives and attacked on political and religious leaders in the country.
"There is no religion that support or incite their followers to such barbaric acts within any community or nation.

Our prayers goes to the families of
the bereaves and thank God for his mercies and protections on the lives
of former Head of States General
Muhammadu Buhari and Sheikh
Dahiru Bauchi amongst others.
"Our heart goes to those that were
injured and maimed by the twin bombings in this Holy Month of
Ramadan in kaduna which is totally against the teaching and preaching
Islam."
He also called citizens of the country to find a ground to unite against such violence and work towards greater peace for all in Nigeria.
