Immediate past president of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was on Thursday, January 14, 2016, recognised in the United States of America, USA, by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The SCLC was founded by the late American Civil Rights leader, Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Jonathan also had the opportunity to meet with Martin’s sister, Naomi King.
The award is in recognition of his leadership in human rights, social justice and the universal fight for freedom.
In his appreciation, the former Nigerian president thanked president of the SCLC, Dr Charles Steele and the executive of the SCLC for honouring him.
Jonathan said he is further inspired “to continue to work for the advancement of democracy, peace and progress in Nigeria and Africa.”
