Also speaking, the guest speaker for the award ceremony, Professor Ahmed Danfulani said the NYSC has effectively flushed out fake graduates from participating in the scheme.
Danfulani who served as the director-general of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies this has been achieved, through rigorous screening and monitoring.
He said:
"From the ongoing construction of ICT Centre at the Headquarters to the completion and equipping of Kaduna NYSC printing press, Brigadier General Ibrahim has improved revenue generation."
For a public affairs analyst, Majeed Dahiru, the award is meant to commend Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim for standing tall in service to the country.
This Dahiru said can be achieved through credible leadership that has resonated wide and far in the country.
The CESJET Man of the Year award was also presented with a modest cash prize of N100, 000 to serve as a token of appreciation and encourage him to continue to render invaluable service to the country.
