Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, continues to distinguish himself as a proactive and principled lawmaker, earning widespread recognition for his unwavering commitment to legislative accountability, anti-corruption advocacy, and grassroots development.
In a recent statement, Senator Nwoko reaffirmed his active role on the Senate Committee on Crude Oil Theft, where he has taken the lead in intensive investigative hearings aimed at tackling entrenched malpractices within Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
The senator emphasized that the committee’s work has reignited national attention on the endemic crisis of oil theft, an issue that has drained billions of dollars in public revenue, jeopardized economic stability, and posed a significant threat to national security.
“These hearings are crucial to restoring transparency and accountability in one of Nigeria’s most strategic sectors,” Senator Nwoko stated.
“We are facing a national emergency—one that erodes investor confidence, fuels insecurity, and undermines economic growth.
The committee remains steadfast in its mission to dismantle criminal syndicates and establish sustainable safeguards to protect our national assets.”
The committee’s sessions brought together major stakeholders, including representatives from oil companies, regulatory agencies, and security institutions, in a bid to identify systemic failures and propose actionable reforms.
Amid these high-impact legislative duties, Senator Nwoko has also been recognized with multiple awards from reputable private organizations, honoring his contributions to legislative advocacy, anti-corruption efforts, and community-oriented initiatives.
He described the accolades as “a humbling reminder that diligent service does not go unnoticed.”
Beyond his oversight work in the oil sector, Senator Nwoko continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to youth and sports development.
As Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports Development, he participated in the unveiling of the Senate President’s Annual National Lawn Tennis Championship.
During the event, he was decorated with the Honorary Chairman/Patron II medal, acknowledging his consistent support for youth engagement and the growth of sports infrastructure across Nigeria.
From championing oil sector reforms and promoting institutional integrity to advancing sports and youth empowerment, Senator Ned Nwoko has cemented his position as a dedicated legislator with a transformative vision for national progress.
His approach reflects not only legislative competence but also a deep-rooted passion for people-centered development.
