“These leadership values should be nurtured in Nigeria and also across the continent.
“A cursory look across our continent shows that leadership remains a critical challenge in our body politic. We fully understand this and thus remain committed to this noble venture of encouraging and nurturing the most beneficial leadership that can be found on the continent as an embodiment of the leadership values of the Great Zik of Africa in whose honour this award was instituted.”
