In a prestigious ceremony at the State House in Nairobi, President William Ruto of Kenya conferred the country’s highest national award, the Chief of the Order of the Golden Heart (CGH), upon Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank.
The Order of the Golden Heart is Kenya’s highest award, divided into three categories: Chief of the Order of the Golden Heart (CGH), Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart (EGH), and Moran of the Order of the Golden Heart (MGH).
This esteemed honor is typically reserved for holders of the office of the President of Kenya.
However, Adesina’s remarkable contributions to African development have earned him a place among a select group of distinguished leaders who have received this recognition.
