President
Buhari has been conferred with the prestigious Polio Champion Award in
recognition of his uncommon commitment and leadership in the polio
eradication programme in Nigeria. Rotary International President, Barry
Rassin, who is on a four-day official visit to Nigeria, presented the
award to President Buhari, Thursday, at State House, Abuja. The Polio
Champion Award was instituted by Rotary International in 1995 to
recognize and appreciate Heads of Governments and organisations that
have played a key role in polio eradication around the world. The last
recipient of the Award was Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada.
Other past recipients include Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and former UN Secretary General Ban
