ABUJA \u2013 Liberian government yesterday conferred the country\u2019s highest national honour of the Grand Cordon in Most Venerable Order of Pioneers on President Goodluck Jonathan.<\/p>\n

The President, who was in Moronvia to attend the conferment, was honoured in recognition of Nigeria\u2019s contributions to keeping the peace in Liberia over the years.<\/p>\n

The award was bestowed on him by Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, as part of activities marking the country\u2019s independence anniversary on July 26.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s strong involvement in the affairs of Liberia dates back to about two decades when the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida spearheaded a West African peacekeeping force, ECOMOG, to stave- off advancement of rebels, led by Charles Taylor, to oust the government of Samuel Doe.<\/p>\n

Since then, Nigeria has maintained close bilateral ties and substantial military presence in Liberia, where tens of thousands of Nigerians reside, although only a little over ten thousand of them are officially registered with the Nigerian embassy in Monrovia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
