President Muhammadu Buhari will on Thursday, May 25th, confer National Honours on president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima.
Tinubu will be conferred with the Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) while Shettima will be honoured with the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON).
Boss Mustapha, chairman of the presidential transition committee and secretary to the government of the federation, announced the development on Thursday, May 18.
He said there would also be an official handover of transition documents to the incoming administration.
Mustapha described the upcoming event as historically significant to the country and the international community, particularly Africa because of the democratic values and lessons in nationhood.
According to him, “It was for these reasons, the committee chose Nigeria: Better Together, as the theme for the 2023 transition.
This is going to be the most organised and seamless presidential transition in the history of Nigeria, enabled by executive order 14 signed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
There will be an inaugural lecture by Uhuru Kenyatta, former President of Kenya.”
