The Nigeria Excellence Award in Public Service was established to honor outstanding contributions to Nigeria’s citizens, government, local community, or state through leadership, service, or humanitarianism.
The recipient must be a living public official or private citizen who consistently excels in a particular sphere of influence, be in good moral standing, and be at the forefront of service and innovation in order to be eligible.
