The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has named Senator Prince Chinedu Munir Nwoko, popularly known as Ned Nwoko, the recipient of its prestigious 2024 Human Rights Man of the Year Award.

The award, which will be conferred on December 10, 2024—International Human Rights Day—in Abuja, recognizes his exemplary contributions to legislative excellence, community development, and the advancement of human rights in Nigeria.

In a telephone conversation with HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, at 1:17 am on Saturday, Senator Nwoko graciously accepted the award in principle.

He expressed profound gratitude to HURIWA for the recognition and reiterated his unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and human rights advocacy.

HURIWA, in a press statement, explained that Senator Nwoko was selected for the honor due to his outstanding performance in the 10th Senate and his transformative initiatives that have positively impacted Delta North and beyond.

The association highlighted the Senator’s legislative accomplishments, which include sponsoring 25 bills and moving 19 motions in just two years—a record that surpasses those of many of his contemporaries.

Notable among these is the Data Protection Bill, underscoring his commitment to safeguarding digital privacy and security. He has also championed motions addressing critical issues such as flooding and environmental hazards.

“HURIWA acknowledges Senator Nwoko’s unwavering advocacy for establishing a National Social Security Agency to replace the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs—a visionary initiative that has gained substantial traction.

The recent executive proposal by President Bola Tinubu, which aligns with Senator Nwoko’s vision, demonstrates the far-reaching impact of his legislative efforts.

“Beyond his commendable legislative achievements, Senator Nwoko’s commitment to community development stands as a cornerstone of his public service.

“His initiatives in Delta North include awarding scholarships to students to foster academic excellence, installing solar-powered streetlights to enhance security and infrastructure, constructing boreholes to improve access to clean water, and organizing free medical outreach programs to address public health needs.

“Among his signature accomplishments is the establishment of Africa’s first Sports University in Idumuje-Ugboko, a groundbreaking institution that integrates academics with sports training, creating unique opportunities for youth development and economic empowerment,” HURIWA stated.

HURIWA also commended Senator Nwoko’s passionate advocacy for the creation of Anioma State, a cause deeply rooted in the aspirations of Delta North communities for justice and equity.

The association acknowledged the historical origins of this movement, initiated over five decades ago by Dennis Osadebe, a former governor of the Midwest State.

According to HURIWA, Senator Nwoko’s leadership in reviving the Anioma State agenda demonstrates his determination to address systemic marginalization and ensure equitable representation.

“The push for Anioma State is not just a political ambition; it is a movement anchored in justice and fairness,” HURIWA remarked, adding that its realization would significantly advance the socio-economic progress of Delta North.

The association criticized the resistance to Senator Nwoko’s efforts and urged all stakeholders to support the initiative. “Senator Nwoko’s visionary leadership reflects the aspirations of Delta North communities and deserves widespread backing,” HURIWA stated.

Describing Senator Nwoko as a “beacon of hope for Delta North,” HURIWA lauded his ability to bridge federal initiatives with grassroots needs. The association emphasized that his approach exemplifies inclusive governance and underscores a deep commitment to addressing the systemic neglect of his region.

The award ceremony in Abuja is expected to bring together dignitaries and stakeholders from across the country to celebrate Senator Nwoko’s achievements.

HURIWA stated that the recognition serves as both a celebration of his accomplishments and a call to action for public officials to prioritize human rights, justice, and equitable development.

HURIWA reaffirmed its dedication to honoring individuals who advance human rights and social justice in Nigeria.

The association urged other leaders to emulate Senator Nwoko’s dedication to creating meaningful change through governance and community engagement.

As preparations for the December 10 ceremony gather momentum, HURIWA reiterated its commitment to spotlighting exemplary leadership in Nigeria.

“Senator Ned Nwoko’s selection as the 2024 Human Rights Man of the Year underscores his significant contributions to human rights advocacy, legislative excellence, and the development of Delta North,” HURIWA concluded.
