The members of The Actors Guild of Nigeria recently visited Nigerian Prince Ned Munir Nwoko. During their visit, they gave the Lawyer, Politician, and Businessman an exceptional award for contribution to the entertainment industry.
This is not the first award this year for the senator. On 26 April 2019, Nwoko was given an honorary doctorate by the Federal University of Petroleum, Delta State. A nomination letter signed by the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Akii Ibhobode, said that Nwoko was chosen for the award based on his pedigree of philanthropy, service, and integrity.
Although his certificate of return to the senate has been reversed, this 58-year-old man is still living his dream. He recently married to his heartthrob, Nollywood Actress Regina Daniels early this year through traditional rites.
Read the letter The Actors Guild presented to Ned Nwoko.
