CONTENT OF THE LESSON

MEANING OF NATIONAL HONORS

National honors are given to people to show that the nation greatly respects them for their achievement. Therefore, such awards are officially given to people to reward them for their achievement. Usually, the president gives such people medals and official titles

Some types of national honors and awards

1. MON–Member of the Order of the Niger
2. CON–Commander of the Order of the Niger

Nigeria is usually given this award. It is meant for deserving Nigerians, who have meritoriously served the country at the highest level.
