Published

on





The National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), has honoured Senator Ned Nwoko as cultural ambassador in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the promotion of culture, peace, and national unity in Delta State and across Nigeria.

The award was presented during the Commission’s International Museum Day celebration, themed “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities,” held at the China Cultural Center on May 20, 2025.

A fitting recipient, Senator Nwoko—who represents Delta North Senatorial District—is widely regarded as a staunch advocate for cultural preservation. His country home, Mount Ned, stands as a vibrant testament to his passion for heritage and tourism. The estate is considered one of the most remarkable cultural and tourist destinations in the region.

Currently serving as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriation, the Anioma-born lawmaker is spearheading efforts to facilitate the return of Nigeria’s looted artifacts from across the world.

His commitment to preserving history is matched by his global engagements, including his historic journey in January 2020 as the first black man to visit the South Pole—a prelude to his malaria eradication campaign and collaborative work with global scientists.

Receiving the award on the Senator’s behalf, his Special Adviser on Media, Juliet Ugah, conveyed his appreciation and reiterated his call for Nigeria to shift from passive cultural exportation to proactive cultural diplomacy.

She stressed that in today’s world, soft power is critical to national influence, and a stronger synergy between the ministries of culture, foreign affairs, and the creative industry is essential to drive this agenda.
