Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has emerged winner of the prestigious African Leadership Magazine Man of the Year - 2012. Atiku Abubakar will be decorated with this award during the forthcoming African Leadership Awards billed to hold in Dubai, U.A.E.

The selection team, comprising leading African Business and political leaders, in arriving at this decision, took into cognizance his enormous contributions to Nigeria’s Socio- Economic Growth as an employer of repute, creating jobs for thousands of Nigerians and indeed Africans; and as a frontline political icon and astute manager of people and resources.

Atiku had a distinguished career in public service, private business, and philanthropy. –perhaps his most outstanding legacy is the American University of Nigeria which he founded and supported. The institution is one of the outstanding private universities inSub-Saharan Africa.

He has funded hundreds of scholarships for Nigerians to study at home and abroad. He built hundreds of schools and health facilities and in 2004, he joined in partnership with the American University in Washington, DC to build the best private university in Africa – the American University of Nigeria.

With this award, Atiku joins other past recipients like Dr. Mo Ibrahim, Founder Mo Ibrahim prize for leadership and founder Celtel; H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia; H.E. John Kuffour, former president of Ghana, and H.E. Xavier Luc-Duval, Vice Prime Minister of Mauritius.

Overrated

Lol.. Am missing something. Atiku that has been politically and economically irrelevant this year? ok

FreeGlobe: Lol.. Am missing something. Atiku that has been politically and economically irrelevant this year? ok

Guess he was economically and socially relevant to the people that matters, hence the recognition and honour bestowed on him by the African Leadership Mag.

May be they were referring to FAMILY leaders or Area Fathers... even at that sef...

Atiku congratz

my Dog emerges world Dog of the year

even though nobody gives a damn about it

FreeGlobe: Lol.. Am missing something. Atiku that has been politically and economically irrelevant this year? ok

His money was probably relevant to the magazine that gave him the award.

Some thing is definately wrong here guess there is a motivation somewhere

Eh eh,what has that got to do with me..how will that affect the price of SK..hahaha..he built this built that with which money?hin papa money abi? Or all this things weh hin built na 4 free? All na politics we are not fools atiku pack well

He obviously paid for it.

These magazines have been made aware of our love for recognition and our willingness to pay mad amounts of money for toilet paper awards hence this early December joke. This laughable award reminds one of the insanity that characterized the banking sector during Soludo's era. Financial Times of London, The Banker Magazine and other Western print mediums made a killing during that era.

Race to occupy the Villa by year 2015 has begun in earnest by lobbying for awards and chieftancy titles in order gain prominence.

People please reserve the celebrations for now for i am quite sure there is a mistake somewhere.

WTF!!! Aregbesola is even far more politically and economically relevant than Atiku this year.

Leadership with focus on corruption and ineptitude abi?

A person publication, run by Nigerian fucktards, giving a person a person award! Impressive.

buildelicool: Some thing is definately wrong here guess there is a motivation somewhere

Motivation? Yes there's motivation somewhere, my buddy? 2015 is just around the corner, so all ambitious gladiators need to be in the news... somehow... anyhow! "Lobby... Pay out some cool cash... Pay out more cool cash, to willing movers... Pay out yet more cash, to intermediaries". What do you get? An AWARD! God bless Nigeria.

So aero , arik , first nation etc have been wasting their time all dis while. If ibori should be release today you will still see millions of people at the airport to welcome their hero. So why una dey worry una self. just ignore stupiddd news like dis.

FreeGlobe:

Some of his economic and social accomplishments were listed in the original post, the award is in order except you have contrary opinions to the criteria adopted for the selection process. Atiku may not look poltically relevant presently but you can't take away his social and economic relevance in the scheme of things.

Congratulations sir!
You make me proud!!!

Smh for them the northern area too wan be among the elite, Oga o such an award given to an underground achiever like atiku when people abound in nigeria with remarkable and well known achievement e.g olusegun obasanjo and so on and why did they give that lamido sanusi mother fucker and award. He has show himself as potential failure one this days na. In conclution i think the award has been zone to northern nigeria for this year that is it

How much did atiku pay to get this award?

Lasinoh: Congratulations sir!
You make me proud!!!
