“All award recipients are to send copies of their citations/resumes to the secretary, National Honours Awards Committee, Federal Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs (FMSDIGA) on or before June 9,” said the circular.
It added, “The soft copies should be sent to the following e-mail addresses: umaruahmadu82@yahoo.com, doobisag@yahoo.com in the following format: A. biodata:, title:, surname:, other names:, gender:,, phone no.:, email:, state of origin:, address:.

The permanent secretary apologised for any inconvenience the change of date might have caused the recipients.
