Senator Imasuen Earns Prestigious African Achievers Award

Distinguished Senator (Barr.) Neda Bernards Imasuen, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions and representative of Edo South Senatorial District, has been selected for one of Africa’s most coveted leadership honours, the Distinguished Achievement in Legislative Excellence and Democratic Governance Award.
The award, conferred by the African Achievers Awards, will be formally presented at a high-profile ceremony scheduled for July 22, 2026, at the historic House of Lords in London, bringing together influential leaders, policymakers, diplomats, entrepreneurs, and development champions from across Africa and beyond.
In an official notification dated June 11, 2026, the organisers disclosed that Senator Imasuen was unanimously chosen by an independent panel of judges in recognition of his outstanding contributions to legislative leadership, democratic governance, and public service.
The African Achievers Awards described the Edo South lawmaker as a leader whose commitment to excellence, ethical leadership, and service to society has distinguished him among Africa’s most impactful public officials.
According to the organisers, recipients of the award are individuals whose work transcends professional accomplishments to create lasting value for communities, strengthen institutions, and advance sustainable development across the continent.
“Your leadership, commitment and dedication to excellence have made a significant impact, not only within your field but across wider society,” the organisers stated in the invitation letter.
The recognition comes amid growing acknowledgment of Senator Imasuen’s role in advancing legislative accountability, citizens’ rights, and democratic governance within Nigeria’s National Assembly.
The award ceremony will be hosted by Lord Simon Woolley, a distinguished member of the House of Lords and a prominent advocate for social justice and democratic inclusion.
For Senator Imasuen, the honour represents not only a personal milestone but also an international affirmation of Nigeria’s democratic institutions and the vital role of principled leadership in strengthening governance across Africa.
