The former Vice President of the World Bank and co-founder of Transparency International (TI), Dr Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili, was honoured on Sunday, December 14, 2025, in far away Doha, Qatar.


Ezekwesili, globally renowned as a public policy leader and anti-corruption reformer with decades of experience in institutional transformation across Africa and internationally, received the joint International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award (Lifetime Achievement) from the ruler of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.


The award recognises her sustained leadership in transparency reforms, public sector accountability, and values-driven governance. Her work spans national reform efforts, multilateral institutions, and the building of next-generation leadership platforms, including the School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG) and Human Capital Africa.


The Jury of the International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award recognised Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili as a joint recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, in acknowledgment of her exceptional and sustained contribution to the advancement of transparency, accountability, and institutional integrity in public life.


The international Anti-Corruption Excellence award, organised in support of the UNODC by the Secretariat of the International Anti-Corruption Excellence is chaired by United Nations Special Advocate for the Prevention of Corruption and Chairman of the High-Level Award Committee, His Excellency, Dr Ali Bin Fetais Al Marri.


According to the Director, Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption Centre/Head of Secretariat of the International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award, Dr Yasser Refaie, the amazon’s nomination had undergone an independent and rigorous review by both the Assessment Advisory Board and the High-Level Award Committee, and found to exemplify the values, expertise and integrity that the Award represents.


Speaking on the recognition, Ezekwesili noted that the fight against corruption is inherently collective.


"This honour belongs to all citizens and reformers who insist that public power must serve the public good. Anti-corruption work is not about individuals, but about building institutions and norms that outlive any one person," she said.
