PRESIDENT and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the award of National.

It is to the credit of the Senator George Akume-led Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs and the Sidi Bage-led National Honours Awards Committee that the Buhari administration and the nation have been saved those kinds of incidents. It is understood that the Office of the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Government Affairs exercised through the Sidi Bage Committee the responsibility of identifying Nigerians and friends of Nigeria that were deserving of national honours, of course sifting through names of Nigerians submitted by members of the public for the award of national honours, whereas it is the prerogative of the Office of the President to endorse the list as produced and submitted to it; and/or as amended by it for final action. Mohammed and former President of the United Nations General Assembly of 74th Session from 2019 to 2020, Professor Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, through the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) with 55 recipients and Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) with 64 nominees to Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) with 70 recipients, Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) with 108 nominees, Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) with 74 recipients, Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) with 55 nominees, Federal Republic Medal I (FRM I) with four nominees, Federal Republic Medal II (FRM II) with four nominees and Foreigners with seven nominees, no one, as of the time of this publication, had rejected their nomination. If there is anything that is also worthy of interrogation about the award of the 2022 National Honours, it is the fact that none of the nominees rejected the privileged consideration. It is a clear indication that the nation takes note of the labour of her emerging heroes and heroines at different intersections in the annals of national development. The scale or standard of measurement, to wit: rendering of service to the benefit of the nation, in the processes of subsequent nominations for award of National Honours and conferment of the same, was thus writ large. The privilege is not only to recognize such achievements but also to encourage the culture of performance in private and public services. That novel arrangement had compelled Saraki as Senate President to work largely, so to speak, at cross purposes with the APC-led Federal Government, such that the party was wont to lay the blame for its inability to achieve a lot in terms of policy deliverables that required legislative backing to Saraki’s oppositional politics within the APC government; albeit, this is moot. It is against the backdrop of the scenario painted supra that some reactions that had trailed the outcome of the process were not misplaced. The honours were ab-initio instituted by the Act, during the First Republic, to honour Nigerians and friends of the country who had rendered service to the benefit of the nation. PRESIDENT and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the award of National Honours to 447 Nigerians and friends of Nigeria in various categories for the year 2022. The attention the process and its outcome attracted and the conversation around them, indeed, accentuated the import of the privileges that the National Honours have continued to exemplify.

Nigeria's national honours are a set of orders and decorations conferred upon Nigerians and friends of Nigeria with remarkable feats every year.
