NABA advisory board member receives National Honours Award

NABA advisory board member Mr. Knut Ulvmoen (Executive Director in Dangote Group) was awarded a National Honours Award from President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday 29th of September at the International Conference Center in Abuja.

The National Honors were instituted by the National Honors Act No. 5 of 1964, during the First Republic, to honour Nigerians from all walks of life, who have rendered special and outstanding services in their various callings, to the benefit and progress of the nation. The Act empowers the President of the Federal Republic to make provisions for the award of honours, decorations and dignities. The awards are to be conferred “on tie advice of the Premier of a Region (Governor of a State) in respect of services to the Region (State).” The Act established two Orders of Dignity known as the Order of the Federal Republic and the Order of the Niger. Each Order consists of four ranks; the first and highest is that of Grand Commander; the second is that of Commander; the third is that of Officer; and the fourth that of Member.

Mr. Ulvmoen was awarded Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR)
