IN PICTURES: Buhari, Obasanjo, Babangida Honoured With Nigeria Centenary Awards
President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday honoured 100 persons
with Nigeria Centenary Awards. About 40 per cent of the awards were
presented posthumously.
Among the recipients of the awards are Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The families of late human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi and
afrobeat king, Fela Anikulapo Kuti rejected the posthumous awards for
both late Fawehinmi and Fela.
Some of those who received the awards today, however, had skipped the
yesterday's international summit on security held in Abuja.
Both events were parts of the activities marking the Nigeria's centenary celebration. See the presentation photos below:
