Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette Bags African Union Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Award
Abuja, Nigeria – Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette has added yet another feather to her illustrious cap as she was officially conferred with the prestigious title of African Union Agenda 2063 Ambassador. The colourful investiture, held at the illustrious Novare Mall, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, gathered diplomats, senior military officers, academics, civil society leaders, and dignitaries from diverse backgrounds who celebrated her as a continental voice for Africa’s future.
Draped in her queenly aura and crowned with a legacy of service, Princess Dr. Ibokette stood as the emblem of resilience and purpose. The conferment was not merely ceremonial—it was a recognition of her unyielding dedication to peacebuilding, leadership, and the socio-economic renaissance of Africa. She also took on a dual role at the event, inducting Fellows into the Institute of Crisis Resolution, Peacebuilding and Conciliation (ICRPC), further underscoring her influence as both a torchbearer and a torch-passer for Africa’s future leaders.
Her path in politics has been no less groundbreaking. Making history as the first female Senatorial Candidate for Uyo Senatorial District, Akwa Ibom State, she has consistently shattered ceilings and challenged stereotypes. Her campaigns became a rallying point for women across Nigeria, encouraging them to step into politics, amplify their voices, and shape governance.
Her political journey is not just about ambition—it is a mission to ensure inclusivity, give voice to the marginalized, and make policymaking more reflective of the realities of everyday Nigerians.
At the core of Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette’s humanitarian legacy lies the Princess Victoria Ibokette Foundation (PVIF), established in 2011. For more than a decade, PVIF has stood as a lifeline for vulnerable communities, empowering youth, women, and the aged with practical opportunities for growth and survival.
Its interventions span multiple fronts—education through scholarships and school support for underprivileged children; skills and enterprise development to strengthen earning capacity and entrepreneurship; humanitarian aid that delivers food, health kits, and clothing to displaced families and refugee camps; capacity building via seminars and workshops that unlock hidden potential; and advocacy campaigns urging government, civil society, and the private sector to prioritize grassroots empowerment.
What makes PVIF exceptional is how seamlessly its work aligns with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 blueprint. From driving inclusive economic growth and advancing women’s political participation, to promoting peace, nurturing cultural identity, and fostering global partnerships, the foundation is more than an NGO—it is a continental model of grassroots transformation.
Now bearing the mantle of AU Agenda 2063 Ambassador, Princess Dr. Ibokette personifies the AU’s blueprint for “The Africa We Want”—a peaceful, prosperous, inclusive, and self-reliant continent. Her voice speaks for Africa’s women, youth, and marginalized groups, while her work demonstrates how grassroots impact can scale up to continental transformation.
To many, Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette is more than a politician, more than a humanitarian—she is a queenly symbol of possibility. Her rare blend of resilience, royal heritage, and responsibility continues to inspire a generation of women and young leaders across Africa.
As the ovations at Novare Mall fade into history, her story remains a timeless reminder: true royalty is not measured by titles or crowns, but by the lives one transforms and the legacies one leaves behind.
