Buhari Honours Jonathan, Wike, Others With Service Awards

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently attending an event at the conference room of the Presidential Villa, Abuja to award former President Goodluck Jonathan and 43 other prominent Nigerians.

Jonathan, Wike, Others Receive Service Awards From Buhari

Others to receive the various awards for their services are 16 state governors, including Nyesom Wike of Rivers State; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and service chiefs.

Reports say Nigeria Excellence Award in Public Service was set up to recognise distinguished public service to Nigeria, either contributions to individuals, state or local community, or the public through excellence in leadership, service, or humanitarianism.

To be eligible, the recipient must be a living Public Official or a private citizen excelling consistently in a given sphere of influence, in good character standing, and must also be at the forefront of service and innovation.

This is still a developing story. We will bring the comprehensive detail shortly.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that Buhari bestowed national honours on 2baba, Teni, and Burna Boy, amongst other Nigerians.
