We recognize Nigerians who are working assiduously and patriotically to strengthen institutions to deliver public goods and services to the citizenry.”

Having diligently reviewed your career trajectory, we hereby wish to notify you of our unanimous resolution to capture your profile in our repository, while also presenting to you a totem of recognition”.
“In the capacity of a model public servant, your profile will be featured in our annual report and Hall of Fame.” Prof. Olawale Moronkola was given a certificate of award in DG’s office in NIS, Lagos.
