President, Muhammadu Buhari has been conferred with the highest national honour of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, revealed this through a statement in which he confirmed that the President was given the national honour in Malabo on Monday for his personal integrity, exemplary leadership style and courage to fight terrorism in order to ensure peace and safety of Africa.

The honour of “Gran Collar De La Orden De La Independencia” translated “Grand Collar of the Order of the Independence” was said to have been conferred on Buhari by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea at the Presidential Palace.

At the ceremony, Buhari was said to have dedicated the recognition to the people of Nigeria who had worked relentlessly to sustain peace in the country and across other neighbouring countries in Africa.

He said, “On behalf of my country, Nigeria, and the people, I will like to express profound gratitude for the honour given to me and my people. The reality of the situation now is that there had never been a time in history for greater neighbourliness, for security and economic stability than now.”

The President pointed out that the challenges faced by African countries could be traced to a particular point, and must be collectively appraised and jointly tackled by all the African countries.

Buhari gave the assurance that Nigeria would continue to support efforts of ensuring socio-political and economic stability of its neighbours and the African continent.

Meanwhile, Mbasogo said it was an honour for his country to confer the Highest National Honour on Buhari on his first visit to the country.

He said, “We are here to recognise the son of the soil. On this occasion, we deem it fit and appropriate to decorate the son of Africa for the great work he is doing in Africa, which includes tackling a great menace to the continent, Boko Haram.”

He assured that his country will support Nigeria in the fight against insurgency and other security matters.
