After the award was giving to him, he dedicated it to all Nigerians for the unity in the country.
The event was held on Friday night in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
President Goodluck Jonathan was represented by the Vice President, Namadi Sambo.
He expressed happiness that the Millennium Excellence Foundation chose Nigeria as host of this year’s event which he added was significant to Nigeria since it held at the country’s centenary.
Accepting the Lifetime African Achievement Prize for Leadership, National Cohesion and stability in Africa, President Jonathan said that Africa was in an era where her political independence must be translated into economic and social benefit for the people.
He urged African leaders not to allow personal interest jeopardise the collective fight against ills that threaten African nations.
The Lifetime Africa Achievement Prize is an annual event organised to honour outstanding Africans who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Africa.
