The final list of Nigerians who will get national honors for various deserving achievements in the public and private sectors has been made public by the federal government.
Ibiene P. Roberts, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, released the revised final list in a statement on Sunday.
The current list has 447 names as opposed to the 437 names on the first list that was released and later disputed by the administration.
