ICONS of the Fourth Republic

The ICONS of the Fourth Republic is a landmark initiative powered by OrderPaper Nigeria, an independent parliamentary monitoring organization and policy think tank.

This project is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the remarkable leadership journey and impactful public service of outstanding Nigerian statespersons who have served since the dawn of the Fourth Republic, 25 years ago.

Our Core Objectives:

• To immortalize exceptional public service and inspire future generations.
• To strengthen democratic accountability by documenting performance.
• To preserve the legacies of national figures who have distinguished themselves across various arms of government.

Nomination as an ICON guarantees a permanent place in national history through three premier recognition platforms:

I. Premier Book of Records (Limited Edition)

A high-quality, premier limited-edition compendium detailing the public service record, achievements, and contributions of each inducted ICON. This will be a standard reference material on Nigeria’s democratic history.

II. Digital Repository

A dedicated, accessible online platform that serves as a dynamic, permanent digital archive of the ICONS and their service, ensuring their legacies are available globally and indefinitely.

III. Award and Gala Night

An exclusive, high-profile ceremonial event (scheduled for August 2025/Early 2026 in Abuja) where the Book of Records is unveiled and ICONS are formally inducted and honored. This event will gather Nigeria’s foremost political and business leadership.

The ICONS are statesmen and women whose careers embody the synergy required for effective democratic governance, having excelled in both lawmaking and executive policy implementation.
