Special thanks to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for his love and support for our great Oba and our dear Kingdom, for making declaration via a Government Notice No. 25 in Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette No. 57, Volume 110 dated March 28, 2023, titled; “Notice of Presidential Declaration on the Recognition of Ownership, and an order vesting custody and Management of Repatriated looted Benin Artefacts in the Oba of Benin kingdom, which has finally laid to rest the controversies and contentions orchestrated by some elements in Government who wanted to repeat history, wrestle with our ancestors and perhaps subvert our traditional institution and pervert the peaceful return and custody of the artefacts.

UKGBE is working assiduously to ensure Benin Kingdom reverts to its pride of place prior to the invasion in 1897.
