The awards conferred on him were; ‘AU African Role Model and Envoy of Good Governance’ and secondly; ‘Ambassador for the New Decade 2020-2030 African Women Financial Inclusion in Nigeria’ with this intended project for women to be flagged off on the 30th day of March 2021.

Dr Tunji while recognising that the Sokoto State governor serves as a role model to all others, he also emphasised that this would hopefully reawaken the spirit of Pan Africanism which has dwindled over the years. So considering the giant strides of the governor, he has been chosen by AU to pilot its programs for African Women Financial Inclusion in Nigeria for the whole Decade.
Governor Aminu thanked the AU and the representative there present for its recognition, encouragement and sustainable interest in growing human resources as a means of fostering good governance across all of Africa. He further encouraged the team of AU representatives to make out time to visit the state, so as to see things for themselves and take proper now of the roadmaps created by his government girl child right and education as well as that of every child in the state.
He promised to continue in his good work, as the award serves as a motivating factor which has only fueled his hunger to do much more in his power to promote good governance for the people of the state.
