Honouring Oghenebrorie Okologo

• Award Category: Outstanding Culture and Tourism Development Award
• Title: Special Assistant on Culture and Tourism to the Executive Chairman, Uvwie Local Government Area, Delta State, Nigeria

The Clevenard Media Award 2025 proudly recognizes Oghenebrorie Okologo, an outstanding cultural advocate and community development strategist whose work is redefining culture and tourism transformation in Delta State.

Under the visionary leadership of the Executive Chairman of Uvwie Local Government Area, Hon. Chief Anthony Onoriode Ofoni, JP, Oghenebrorie has championed programs that have revived cultural pride, promoted youth empowerment, and elevated the Uvwie identity both locally and internationally.

Driving Cultural Revival and Heritage Preservation

Uvwie, one of Delta State’s most vibrant and historically rich communities, is undergoing a cultural renaissance through the initiatives led by Oghenebrorie Okologo. As Special Assistant on Culture and Tourism, she has been instrumental in ensuring that Uvwie’s traditions are identified, preserved, and promoted.

Her efforts have led to the reintroduction of traditional Uvwie dance performances in LEA schools — an initiative designed to preserve the Urhobo language and dialect while encouraging young people to embrace their roots. This grassroots approach has not only rekindled pride in local heritage but has also made cultural education an integral part of community development.

Oghenebrorie believes that cultural awareness is the foundation for peace, unity, and progress. Through her work, she continues to bridge generational gaps and inspire younger citizens to view their traditions as assets, not relics of the past.

Promoting Peace and Social Cohesion Through Art

Among her notable achievements is the successful organization of the Uvwie Arts and Culture Festival and Exhibition, which served as a tool for promoting peacekeeping and community cohesion. The festival brought together diverse groups from Ekpan and Ugbomoro, reviving creative expressions once lost to modernity and fostering unity through shared cultural experiences.

The program, supported by the Local Peace Architecture, the European Union (EU), PND, and other development partners, became a platform for showcasing Uvwie’s creative arts, traditional dance, crafts, and storytelling — a reflection of Delta State’s deep-rooted cultural wealth.

Through such initiatives, Oghenebrorie has proven that culture is not merely entertainment—it is a catalyst for healing, dialogue, and sustainable community development.

Empowering Women and the Next Generation

A passionate advocate for women’s empowerment and youth inclusion, Oghenebrorie has supported numerous initiatives that uplift women and inspire leadership among young girls. Her involvement in the Miss Ighelle 2025 – Miss UPU (Urhobo Progressive Union) competition provided a platform for women to showcase intelligence, confidence, and cultural pride.

Beyond pageantry, her initiatives are about creating opportunities — teaching young women to use their voices, build careers, and become ambassadors of their heritage.

She is also pioneering the first-ever Arts and Painting Cultural Competition for LEA Primary Schools, supported by BIC Nigeria and the Executive Chairman of Uvwie LGA. The competition aims to identify, harness, and promote artistic talent among children at the grassroots, helping them develop confidence, creativity, and appreciation for their culture from an early age.

Transforming Uvwie Into a Tourism Hub

Through her visionary ideas and technical expertise, Oghenebrorie has enhanced Uvwie’s cultural and tourism landscape. Working closely with Hon. Chief Anthony Onoriode Ofoni, she has been involved in improving tourism sites, promoting community-led environmental beautification, and making Uvwie a preferred destination for local and international visitors.

Today, Uvwie records increased tourist visits, a testament to the strategic synergy between cultural preservation and economic development. Her work aligns with the broader cultural and tourism agenda of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Elder Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, JP, the Executive Governor of Delta State — emphasizing culture as a key pillar for inclusive growth and state identity.

Oghenebrorie’s unwavering commitment, creativity, and community spirit have made her one of the most admired figures in Delta’s cultural space — a woman who combines passion with purpose to build a legacy of pride and progress for her people.

A Legacy of Leadership and Vision

Oghenebrorie Okologo’s leadership extends beyond administrative duties — it is visionary, people-centered, and impact-driven. Her ability to connect culture with education, tourism, and social reform continues to set a new standard for local governance and grassroots development in Nigeria.

As she receives the Outstanding Culture and Tourism Development Award at the Clevenard Media Award 2025, she represents not only Uvwie and Delta State but also the countless women across Africa working tirelessly behind the scenes to preserve their heritage, empower their communities, and promote positive change.

Her story is a reflection of the Clevenard ethos — “Be seen. Be heard. Be celebrated.”
