12 Icons

The Program

12  ICONS  Is an annual program through which NNP examines specific collective Nigerian values and promotes them through the recognition of citizens who have demonstrated such values as Icons, based on their actions and contributions to the benefit of the  Nigerian experience.  



The  12 Icons Committee defines selection criteria and draws on historically documented activities of Nigerian citizens who may be nominated by anyone  


When nominations have been submitted they are reviewed against the selection criteria as well as few other subsidiary measures until  finalization is reached.  


NNP uses their stories to create film in the form of documentaries or any appropriate medium to disseminate information around these values that it hopes will be embraced within the national conversation.  


Our goal is to build a more enlightened society.
