The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced its plan to honour Nigeria’s leader, President Muhamadu Buhari with a special Platinum Award at the forthcoming 2015 Glo-CAF Awards.

At a joint press conference by CAF, the highest football authority in Africa and Globacom, the sponsor of the annual CAF Awards, CAF said the investiture of  President Buhari (GCFR) with the Platinum Award will be held during the Glo-CAF Award Gala at the International Conference Centre, Abuja on January 7, 2016.
