Today, December 21, 2025, we celebrate the remarkable 65th birthday of our distinguished Senator Prince Chinedu “Ned” Munir Nwoko—a visionary leader, philanthropist, and trailblazer whose giant strides continue to transform lives in Delta North, Nigeria, and across Africa.
One of Your Excellency’s most audacious achievements is in the fight against malaria, a scourge that claims hundreds of thousands of lives annually in Africa.
In January 2020, you made history as the first Black African to reach the South Pole in Antarctica, symbolically flagging off the Ned Nwoko Malaria Eradication Project.
By hoisting the Nigerian flag there, you drew global attention to this African challenge, advocating for vaccine research funding, nationwide fumigation, environmental sanitation, and recycling initiatives.
Your foundation’s partnerships with universities and stakeholders underscore a holistic approach to eradicating malaria, starting from Nigeria and extending across the continent.
This bold expedition and ongoing campaign have inspired hope for a malaria-free Africa.
Equally groundbreaking is your establishment of the Sports University of Nigeria (SUN) in Idumuje-Ugboko—the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa.
This world-class institution blends academics with professional sports training, nurturing young talents in disciplines like athletics, football, and more, while offering courses in management, sciences, and allied fields.
Through scholarships and empowerment programs, SUN is discovering and honing hidden talents, empowering Nigerian youth to excel on global stages and fostering job creation, discipline, and national pride.
Senator Nwoko, your selfless dedication to health, education, youth empowerment, and national progress is truly inspiring.
As you mark this milestone, may God bless you with renewed strength, robust health, wisdom, and many more years of impactful service.
Happy 65th Birthday, Excellency! Cheers to greater heights and enduring legacy! 🎉🥳🇳🇬❤️
