The Government of Saint Lucia has conferred one of its highest national honours, the Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia, KCOSL, on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


‎Acting on the advice of the Government, the conferment was approved by the Governor General of Saint Lucia, in recognition of President Tinubu’s exceptional leadership on the African continent, his commitment to advancing South-South cooperation, and his efforts at rekindling cultural, historical, and diplomatic ties with the Caribbean.

‎However, Tinubu’s honour also comes amid a growing regional embrace of Nigeria’s re-engagement policy under the Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to reposition Africa’s largest democracy as a leader in global diplomacy and cultural diplomacy.
