The selection committee comprises media representatives from the five regions of the continent who rely on media reports and experts on road networks, transport, and sustainable development.

To the chagrin of elements, who would stop at nothing to block achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari from being noticed, more international bodies not only see those achievements but are nominating the Nigerian President for award competitions and global as well as continental leadership roles, none of which he has failed to pick.

The latest being that on Friday 28 May, 2021, the Daura, Katsina State-born President of Africa’s most populous country, Muhammadu Buhari, was named winner of the 2021 Great Builder Super Prize for Trophée Babacar Ndiaye, taking over from Abdel Fattah al-Sissi of Egypt, who won the 2020 prize.

According to a statement from the African Development Bank (AfDB) on Friday, Buhari was named winner during the inaugural Africa Road Builders Conference held on March 31 in Cairo, Egypt.

The trophy would be awarded on June 24 on the side-lines of the AfDB’s Annual Meetings.

Fattah al-Sissi, received the award “for his personal leadership and for the efforts made to ensure road safety and the health of the population in the context of transport”.

The selection committee, however, cited Nigeria’s efforts to improve road safety and air quality for road users.

It also commended efforts to obtain COVID-19 vaccines and for advancing major transport projects, especially in the rail sector that would ensure the optimal operation of roads and transport.

The Babacar Ndiaye Africa Road Builders Award is organised by Acturoutes, an information platform on infrastructure and roads in Africa, and Media for Infrastructure and Finance in Africa (MIFA), a network of African journalists specialised in road infrastructure.

The AfDB president sponsors the award.

The selection committee comprises media representatives from the five regions of the continent who rely on media reports and experts on road networks, transport, and sustainable development.

The award was created in honour of Babacar Ndiaye, President of the AfDB Group from 1985 to 1995.

Each year, the Africa Road Builders selection committee carefully evaluates ambitious and tangible projects that have a real impact on the mobility of people in Africa.

Well deserved. More wins

Not necessarily.

The post states "According to a statement from the African Development Bank (AfDB) on Friday, Buhari was named winner during the inaugural Africa Road Builders Conference held on March 31 in Cairo, Egypt." And for the last winner, it reported "Fattah al-Sissi, received the award “for his personal leadership and for the efforts made to ensure road safety and the health of the population in the context of transport”.

Take away bad belle, in Africa, in the context of transportation, Buhari deserves the award above his African counterparts.

Africans are jokers...magomago award

Africa my home

Ipob, how market?

Oh God of Africa!

If Corruption has gone intercontinental. What can I say?

Nigeria buys every thing
. That is where our money goes ..
.bribing

It changes nothing, this is Africa where forces outside of the continent gathered and decided to destroy Libya and African leaders did nothing. Giving award to Buhari despite his dangerous ethnic agenda against Nigerian people shows how useless and unthoughtful the award is.

How was it calculated or judged?

There is nothing these Buhari team can not buy

Lol
