The Nigerian Senate is turning up the heat on Western nations, bringing African diplomats together in a bold move to demand the return of looted cultural artefacts.
On June 30, top envoys from across the continent will meet in Abuja to align strategies on reclaiming priceless heritage taken during colonial rule. The meeting is led by Senator Ned Nwoko, who chairs the Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriations.
“This is not for show. We’re building a solid, law-backed case to get our artefacts back and push for reparations,” Nwoko said during a briefing in Abuja.
To drive the campaign forward, the Senate has enlisted cultural strategist Chukwuebuka Anyaduba to lead advocacy and stakeholder engagement. His role? Craft a powerful, united African voice in the global restitution fight.
The Senate’s approach blends law, diplomacy, and history backed by experts to push for redress on both past and present injustices
