The body of Ex-Local Government Chairmen of Nigeria, has decorated prolific businessman, Prince Ned Nwoko as its Grand Patron at a well attended event, which took place at the prestigious Mount Nwoko, Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta State.
Prince Nwoko, who has served Nigeria in various categories including as a member of the House of Representatives and a senator, is the husband of delectable actress, Regina Daniels.
The honour, which has created a jolly good mood in the billionaire business man, is not unconnected to his philanthropic gestures toward humanity.
Sources revealed that one of the major reasons for recognizing the Prince from Delta State was his singular act of assisting the 774 local governments in Nigeria to pursue and recover over deductions (Paris club funds) from foreign lenders and governments, which benefited the three tiers of government.
The source further added that all the former Chairmen from across states and political parties were on hand to honour the iconic Philanthropist and grassroot politician.
Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is a lawyer, politician and businessman. The Nigerian billionaire has been involved in politics for a very long time.
Ned was a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003. He represented Aniocha North-South and Oshimili North-South in Delta State, Nigeria .
Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, who is popularly known as Ned Nwoko was born on December 21, 1960 into the Royal Palace of Idumuje-Ugboko in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The 59-year-old dark skinned man is a Muslim, and has been described in the media as a ‘sweet old wine that young Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, is sipping happily’.
He currently has six wives including Regina Daniels, the sixth, who is excited about it. Their marriage caused an uproar in the media as result of their age difference, but the man of wealth and the young movie goddess were basically in love.
Recently, at the convocation of the University of Petroleum Resources, Efunrun, Warri, Delta State, he gifted 20 first class students with N20 million to kickstart their career. He also gave out 5million naira to 50 Instagram followers as start up.
He also singlehandedly bankrolled the blockbuster iconic movie THE ENEMY I KNOW to the tune of N180million. He’s a lover of sports and education who find fulfillment in doing good.
