On October 11, 2022, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR will bestow the Order of the Niger (OON) onto Sheikh Sulyman Faruq Onikijipa (Al Miskin billahi), an Ilorin-born Islamic scholar who serves as the Grand Mufti of the Ilorin Emirate.
A national accolade known as the OON Award is given to people who have made significant contributions to the country’s services.
Every year, Nigerians and allies of the country are given a collection of orders and decorations known as the Nigerian National Honours. During the First Nigerian Republic, they were established by the National Honors Act No. 5 of 1964 to recognize Nigerians who have contributed to the good of the country.
These honors are different from the ones that are a part of the nation’s historic chieftaincy system, which is a distinct (but also recognized by law) organization. The greatest honors or medals a citizen can earn from his or her country for service to the country are known as national honors.
