Nigeria Should Not Be in a Hurry to Start Real-Time Transmission of Election Results - Shagari This is done in countries that have the necessary things available to transmit; in Nigeria we must admit we have a lot of challenges. Mukhtar Shagari, Former Deputy Governor, Sokoto State

Delighted to be a joint recipient of the 2025 International Anti-Corruption Excellence- ACE Lifetime Achievement / Outstanding Award. It is encouraging to see that my resolute character, consistent work on transparency, accountability, good governance, institution-building, sound economic, human capital and extractive sector policies; and building values-anchored leaders that serve people are what the Award values and celebrates. And of course, none of these works was or is ever done alone. I always say that the fight against corruption and for good governance are inherently collective and so, this honor belongs to all citizens and reformers who insist that public power must serve the public good. Anti-corruption and good governance works are not just about individuals, but ultimately about building institutions and norms that outlive any one person. Grateful to God, my unforgettable parents, my incomparable husband, our wonderful daughter and sons; and my loving siblings for being integral to the journey that brought me this honor. Thanks to all who have celebrated and sent their prayers and well wishes. I am truly grateful. Our collective dedication to emerge Good Governance must continue until Nigeria and Africa become. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

These are difficult days for our country, and the weight of it all presses heavily on my spirit. Still, I'm grateful for the abiding protection of the gods, who steady my steps and keep me true to the course I have chosen. Happy LVII, Great Oracle!
