But nothing can be more cynical than bestowing honour on public officials just because they hold specific offices where big patronage could be dispensed. It is in this light that we view the recent award of honourary degrees in Management Sciences by the [b]Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) to the duo of Godswill Akpabio, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, and Diezani Allison-Madueke, the Petroleum Minister [/b]as we fail to understand the criteria that recommended them to the NDA authorities, an institution established for training our military officers.


It really baffles me.

What business has the Nigerian Defence Academy got with dishing out honourary degrees to civilians with no Military pedigree

Please can someone tell me the documentation i need obtain a visa and i will also like to know if am going to need a student visa or other types of visa. Can I have a proper clear breakdown on getting a visa? God bless you all.

As a rule, I generally award myself at least one honorary academic laurel, and one traditional chieftaincy title per year.
