Nigeria on November 17 announced that it will confer its highest national honour, the Grand Commander of The Order of The Niger (GCON), on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This distinction recognizes outstanding contributions to national development and international diplomacy. The GCON, one of Nigeria’s most prestigious awards, has only been bestowed upon a few foreign dignitaries. Queen Elizabeth II was the first to receive the honour in 1969 and remains the only foreign leader to have been awarded the GCON. PM Modi’s upcoming recognition will make him the 17th international figure to receive this esteemed accolade. The award comes as a testament to PM Modi's significant role in strengthening India-Nigeria relations and his global leadership in various spheres, including diplomacy, trade, and innovation. PM Narendra Modi Arrives in Abuja Marking First Ever Visit to Nigeria, Receives Warm Welcome From President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (See Pics and Video).
