100 persons were honoured with Centenary awards by the Federal Government as part of Nigeria’s Centenary celebration. Professor Soyinka who was among the 100 rejected the award as the late Nigerian tyrant, General Sani Abacha and other known killers and looters of Nigeria’s treasury were also on the list. In a rejection note headlined
