enriched international civilization. To mark the 37th anniversary of
Nigeria's Independence, THE SOURCE presents SPECIAL EDITION THE SOURCE

- not be more than 50 years old;
- has made outstanding positive contributions in any field of human
endeavour, especially, but not only, geared towards uplifting the
quality of Nigerian civilisation/development or has evidenced the
triumph of the human spirit via an inspiring achievement.
The nominations could be any number, but the final list will be 100
