Gen. Abacha Honoured With Centenary Award - Federal Government



The Federal Government had shortlisted 100 persons to be honoured with Centenary awards included in Nigeria's Centenary celebration and the late tyrant, Gen. Sani Abacha was on the list. Abacha's inclusion sparked a lot of controversy and Prof. Soyinka even rejected the award.
The government has said Abacha was among those receiving the centenary honours because he was a Nigerian soldier and politician who served as de-facto President of Nigeria from1993 to 1998.
