[2] After a 3-year engagement with Governor Godswill Akpabio as Personal Assistant, Onofiok was nominated to the Nigerian Youth Parliament where he was later elected as the pioneer Speaker (2007- 2010) of the 109-member Parliament, a non-stipendiary institution/ training program of the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development in collaboration with the National Assembly put together by then President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua to engage the Nigerian Youth and provide legislative and administrative training that will prepare them for future challenges especially those with high degree of interest in lawmaking, and also to help generate inputs from young Nigerians that could possibly be injected into the country's mainstream governance system.

Onofiok, like many other students he led at the time, believed that being a government-funded institution, the arbitrary increase in fees by the University of Uyo was callous and uncalled for.

Luke, in 2011, became an Associate Fellow of the Nigeria Leadership Initiative (NLI), an international non-profit platform for credible, accomplished and uniquely patriotic Nigerians.

Luke's human right activism is evident in some of the bills and motions he moves on the floor of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

He submitted to the Assembly a bill to create an Environmental protection law for the regulation of Sand mining activities and dredging operations in the state of Akwa Ibom.

Luke is arguably the first and only known public official in Nigeria to run an internship program on legislative practices for young Nigerians.

He was one of the first Nigerian youths who called for Amnesty for local militants who were disrupting oil activities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

He also warned concerning the failure of government to take steps to arrest the Boko Haram Islamist sect which was at the time in its embryonic stage in the northeast of the country.

Palpably frustrated by government's refusal to heed to his call for urgent action, Onofiok told journalists as he brought the second session of the Youth Parliament to a close on 19 August 2009: "At Bauchi, we called for the reform of the Almajiri system and a close watch on (the Boko Haram) sect capable of fermenting trouble; this was not heeded and recently, the nation woke up to the unpalatable Boko Haram experience.

"[11] Boko Haram went out of hand largely due to government's negligence and has since 2009 killed more than 13,000 Nigerians in the North-East and North-West of the country.

[12] In the heat of the national debate which followed the sacking of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013, Onofiok called on Nigerians to question why the CBN Governor was not producing facts to counter allegations of financial recklessness leveled against him by the presidency rather than base their disapproval of the sack on sentiments.

In April 2015, Onofiok reechoed his call for economic and political synergy among states and leaders of the oil-rich, but underdeveloped, Niger Delta region.

[15] He was also Nigeria's representative at the African Union youth pre-forum to the 2014 high level dialogue on democracy, human rights, and governance in Africa.

At the conference which held in Nairobi Kenya and had top-ranking African diplomats in attendance, Luke spoke on Youth, Power, and Politics for Sustainable Peace in Africa.
