Despite a shambolic performance as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, was on Sunday conferred with a national honour of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic.
Honoured alongside the hugely unpopular CBN Governor was a former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku who gets Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger.
Others are former Governor of Osun, Bisi Akande; Olusegun Osoba; Mamman Daura.
The outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari also conferred national honors on some of his ministers including Chief Sunday Dare.
