The Presidency has released the official list of 101 awardees for the 2025 Democracy Day National Honours, recognising Nigerians, both living and dead, who have made significant contributions to the nation’s democratic journey.

The honours, which include the second-highest national honour – Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON), Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), and Member of the Federal Republic (MFR), were announced by President Bola Tinubu during the 2025 Democracy Day Address to a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja on Thursday.

The awards cut across various sectors, including civil society, journalism, politics, and activism, with a strong nod to pro-democracy advocates, media voices during the struggle for the actualisation of June 12, 1993 election, and national development champions.

Two individuals received the GCON, including a posthumous award to the late Major General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka.

However, President Tinubu used the occasion to decorate Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas with their GCON awards, while Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, with their CFR awards and were presented with certificates.
