Abuja, Nigeria – The Federal Capital Territory came alive in grandeur as Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette, humanitarian, philanthropist, and visionary leader, was officially decorated as an Ambassador for the African Union Agenda 2063 Assembly and proudly inducted as a FELLOW of the Institute for Crisis Resolution, Peacebuilding, and Conciliation (ICRPC).

The colourful investiture ceremony, staged at the illustrious Novare Mall, Wuse Zone 5, was nothing short of historic. A distinguished gathering of diplomats, senior military officers, academics, civil society leaders, entrepreneurs, and cultural icons converged to honour a woman whose name is fast becoming synonymous with impact, resilience, and continental vision.

Draped in her queenly aura and crowned with a legacy of service, Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette stood as an emblem of resilience and purpose, commanding the admiration of all in attendance. The conferment was more than ceremonial — it was a coronation of vision, a recognition of her unwavering dedication to peacebuilding, transformative leadership, and Africa’s socio-economic renaissance.

 With every graceful stride, she exuded the poise of royalty and the strength of a reformer, reminding the continent that true nobility is measured not in crowns, but in service to humanity. This further underscored her influence as both a torchbearer and a torch-passer for the continent’s future leaders, cementing her stature as a queen of purpose whose legacy is defined not by thrones or titles, but by impact, inspiration, and an unyielding commitment to Africa’s renaissance. 

Organisers hailed Princess Dr. Ibokette as a beacon of hope for Africa’s emerging future, spotlighting her unmatched commitment to education, youth empowerment, and social justice. Her new role as an Agenda 2063 Ambassador positions her not only as a national figure but also as a continental voice for Africa’s transformation, embodying the AU’s blueprint for inclusive growth and sustainable prosperity.

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.

Her induction into the Institute for Crisis Resolution, Peacebuilding, and Conciliation further underscores her commitment to dialogue as the bedrock of lasting peace. Observers believe this dual honour — AU Agenda 2063 Ambassador and ICRPC Fellowship — sets her apart as one of the fastest-rising Nigerian women leaders on the global stage.

As the night concluded, the thunderous applause and celebratory ovations inside Novare Mall told the story clearly: Princess Dr. Victoria Ibokette is not just making history — she is shaping it.
