The federal government has released the final list of persons nominated to receive national honours.
The list was published in national newspapers on Sunday by the federal ministry of special duties and inter-governmental affairs.
The awards will be presented by President Muhammadu Buhari on October 11, at an event scheduled to hold at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Last weekend, in a leaked a total of 437 persons were nominated by the federal government to receive national honours.
Former Senate President Bukola Saraki was missing from the list while governor of Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi was nominated to be awarded commander of the order of the Niger (CON) — an honour he was bestowed by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Also, founder of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), Bayo Ogunlesi was erroneously described as the owner of Gatwick Airport.
In the final list, 447 persons were nominated for national honours in contrast to the 437 persons in the leaked list.
Tijani Muhammad-Bande, former president of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), is listed among the persons to be honoured with GCON.
The name of the former diplomat was missing from the previous list.
