As our esteemed representative, Hon. Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi marks his second anniversary in office, we reflect on his remarkable achievements that have positively impacted our constituency and the nation at large.
Proofs speak louder than promises. If you work consistently and there are evidences to show, they speak for themselves. When Hon Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi was presenting himself for election into the House of Representatives in 2023 his slogan was, “Let’s Do It Better”. That was his promise and two years down the line, the results are speaking eloquently for themselves.
In the past our constituency had been plagued by unfulfilled promises so when Professor Nnamchi assured us that he would do it better, majority of our constituents never believed him. They saw it as one of the usual unkept promises they were used to but today he has proven the Thomases wrong with his performance so far.
In just two years he has done so much especially in core legislative duty which is law making with the sponsorship of 52 Bills and 20 motions, demonstrating his commitment to shaping policies that benefit our communities and the nation in general. In youth empowerment, Professor Nnamchi has awarded tertiary scholarships to over 200 constituents, thus opening doors to new opportunities for our future leaders. He has also built several blocks of classrooms, supplied furniture to schools, and distributed uniforms to primary school pupils.
He is equally striving to bridge the digital gap among the young constituents with an instituted annual information technology (ICT) trainings for secondary students which he started way back in his days in the University of Nigeria Nsukka to cater for the students in Enugu East, his Area Council but expanded it to accommodate Isi Uzo indigenes upon his election into the National Assembly. Today, the project has been boosted with his establishment of an ICT Centre in Enugu East Area Council.
Concerned about health challenges faced by the indigent constituents who could hardly afford sound medical care, Rep Nnamchi conducted six, (6) medical outreaches in 2024 providing adequate healthcare services,treated eye patients, distributed, essential drugs, and glasses to them. He has ensured that several communities in the constituency were illuminated with solar street lights to enhance safety and security.
Besides all these achievements, Professor Nnamchi in recognition of the current hardships facing his constituents as a result of the galloping influation which has put staple food items beyond the reach of the ordinary citizens across the country has mainted the culture of distributing food items and other essentials to both Muslims and Christians constituents during festivities and this he has consistently done in the last two years to further demonstrate inclusivity and community building
Ideally, law making is the primary duty of the legislature in democracy. However, a lawmaker May from time to time through influence, contacts and Loby attract social amenities and other benefits like employments to his constituents. It is also important to emphasize that it was on account of law making that the National Assembly Journal, “The Order Paper which Carries yearly evaluation of legislators’ effectiveness adjudged Professor Nnamch the best performing legislator from the southeast region and in view of that l will conclude this piece with an attachment of the list of the Bills our super Rep has sponsored in the past two years.

It is important to state that quite a number of these Bills are at various stages of legislative processes . Some are at first and second readings at the plenary, some have gone through public hearings and clause to clause considerations while some are before the conference committees of both Senate and House for final passage. The good news also is that a few of them have been transmitted for Presidential assent.
Indeed Rep Nnamchi’s dedication to quality representation has brought tangible recognition to our constituency. He has equally set a benchmark for those who will aspire to represent us after him. As we celebrate his achievements in the past two years, we look forward to continued progress and development in Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency through his effective drive and influence in the House of Representatives.
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 Presidential Election, Peter Obi usually would say go and verify but l will prefer to ask, “if you are in doubt check it out.”

Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar has raised an alarm a strange person who transferred money into one of his private bank accounts, saying the incident raises serious questions about the security of his confidential banking information.
The ex-Vice President, who is the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, made this disclosure in a statement issued on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.
It was stared in the payment that they credit came from someone unknown to Atiku, with the transaction carrying the description, “Contribution Electioneering Campaign.”
The statement stressed that neither Atiku nor his campaign requested, approved or had any prior knowledge of the payment.
“Neither His Excellency nor his campaign solicited, authorised or has any knowledge of the individual or entity behind the unauthorised payment,” the statement read.
He said the transaction was particularly troubling because the account involved is a personal one whose details are not publicly known.
He questioned how an unknown individual was able to obtain the confidential account information.
“The account is a strictly private one whose details are not in the public domain. This raises a fundamental question: How did unknown persons obtain the confidential banking details of a private citizen?” it added.
The former Vice President warned that the incident raises wider concerns about the safety of Nigerians’ financial information.
If the private banking information of a former Vice President and a leading presidential candidate can be accessed and deployed for reasons yet unknown then no Nigerian’s financial privacy is safe,” the statement quoted him as saying.
He also expressed concern that the information may have been accessed through people with privileged access to sensitive financial records.
“Even more disturbing is the suspicion that such confidential information may have been obtained through persons with privileged access,” the statement said.
Atiku further warned that any confirmed breach of private banking information could expose citizens to serious security risks.
“If established, this would amount to a grave abuse of power capable of exposing the account holder to kidnappers, terrorists and fraudsters.
The former Vice President also called the attention of Nigerians and security agencies to the incident, describing it as part of what he termed a series of “suspicious activities” ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“We therefore put the Nigerian public and the security agencies on notice about this latest incident in a litany of suspicious activities leading up to next year’s general elections.”
Atiku also alleged that the incident could be part of an attempt to damage his reputation as political activities intensify ahead of the elections.
He urged Nigerians not to be distracted by what he described as “tired tactics” aimed at character assassination.
“Such desperate antics have failed before and will fail again.”
The ADC presidential candidate said he remained focused on his political agenda and his stated commitment to providing solutions to the country’s challenges.
“The Waziri Adamawa remains focused on offering Nigerians credible leadership and practical solutions to the nation’s challenges.”

Nigeria and the People’s Republic of China have strengthened their cultural and creative ties with the signing of a Content Exchange and Cooperation Agreement between the China Movie Channel (CMC) and the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), a move expected to boost film production, media collaboration and cultural diplomacy between both countries.
The agreement was signed in Abuja during the China-Nigeria Film and Literature Symposium, which brought together diplomats, government officials, filmmakers, authors and other stakeholders from the creative industries of both countries.
Speaking at the event, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, described the partnership as another milestone in the long-standing relationship between Nigeria and China, noting that literature and film have remained powerful tools for strengthening mutual understanding between peoples.
He said celebrated Nigerian writers, including Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as renowned Chinese authors such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua and Mai Jia, have continued to build bridges of friendship through their literary works.
According to the envoy, both countries have established themselves as global forces in visual storytelling, making the collaboration both timely and strategic.
China, he noted, currently operates more than 93,000 cinema screens and produces about 700 films annually, while Nigeria’s thriving film industry releases over 2,000 films each year.
He also pointed to the growing appreciation of each country’s productions, citing the successful screening of the Chinese film My People, My Country in Nigeria and Nigerian productions such as Lionheart and October 1 in China.
“The mutual appreciation of literature and film between the peoples of China and Nigeria is rooted in close friendship and cultural ties,” Ambassador Yu said.
He added that the initiative aligns with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Global Civilization Initiative and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of strengthening cross-border cultural cooperation.
The ambassador further noted that the agreement comes at a significant moment, marking the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and China, the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges and the 105th anniversary of the Communist Party of China.
Representing the Federal Government, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Abdulkarim Ibrahim, described the agreement as a major boost for Nigeria’s creative industry and digital media ecosystem.
“This partnership will create new opportunities for professional development, technological innovation, and co-productions,” Ibrahim stated.
He praised China for its continued support through fully funded educational, technical and capacity-building programmes, which he said have benefited many Nigerian public servants and professionals in the creative sector.
According to him, as the Federal Government intensifies efforts to harness the creative industry as a driver of economic growth and employment, international collaborations such as the one with China will provide the technical expertise and global exposure needed to accelerate that vision.
Also speaking, Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos, said the agreement will significantly improve content sharing between both countries and open new opportunities for audiences to access diverse productions.
He explained that the partnership will also promote wider accessibility through emerging technologies, including the possible integration of Artificial Intelligence-powered translation systems to enable viewers in both countries to enjoy films and television content without language barriers.
The symposium ended with interactive panel discussions involving Nigerian and Chinese filmmakers, writers and media experts, who explored opportunities for joint productions, talent development, content exchange and deeper collaboration between the creative industries of both nations.
Stakeholders expressed optimism that the agreement would not only strengthen diplomatic relations but also create fresh opportunities for cultural exchange, innovation and growth in the film and broadcast sectors.
The Minister of Power, Mr Joseph Tegbe, on Friday inaugurated former Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti, as Chairman of the Governing Board of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
Also inaugurated are Alhaji Ahmadu Abubakar and Mr Ilyasu Makinta and three others as members and non-executive directors, with Mr Abba Aliyu as Managing Director.
Fayose, who thanked President Bola Tinubu for finding them worthy said his mission in REA is to take the agency to greater heights by providing the needed political will.
He promised to do everything possible to ensure that the agency gets funds to achieve its long and short-term programmes for Nigerians to get electricity.
“Work has started in earnest; we are reaching out very fast and appealing to people to ensure the work is done.
“I want to use this window to assure Nigerians that your expectation about my appointment and my colleagues will not be dashed.
“We will give our best to achieve the renewed hope of President Tinubu for the country to be better for us all,‘’ he said.
He noted that a number of challenges faced in the power sector were at the grassroots.
He said that the assignment given to them was beyond providing electricity but also looking at the population of the country who need to feel the impact of the energy.
“When this happens, the people will forever be indebted to the agency,” he said
On his part, REA’s managing director thanked Tinubu for the opportunity to serve.
Aliyu promised that the agency would continue to do its best to ensure electricity gets to the served and underserved communities.
Earlier, Tegbe said the Nigeria electricity sector was moving from counting kilowatts and megawatts to powering more communities in the country.
Tegbe said this while inaugurating the Governing Board of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) in Abuja on Friday.
The minister explained that REA occupies a unique and strategic place within Nigeria’s power sector architecture, adding that its mandate extends well beyond connecting communities to electricity.
“We are moving from just counting kilowatts and megawatts to how many communities and people were powered in the country.
“REA is fundamentally an institution for expanding opportunity.
“Every mini-grid inaugurated, every solar home system deployed, every market, school, primary healthcare centre, farm, or productive enterprise electrified represents an investment in human capital, economic inclusion, and national prosperity.
“As we continue the implementation of the Electricity Act and deepen reforms across the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, the role of REA has become even more significant, ‘’ he said.
The minister said that the agency serves as the bridge between national policy and grassroots impact by ensuring that “the benefits of power reforms are being felt across the country.
“Not only in our major cities but also in the remotest communities across the federation,‘’ he said.
Tegbe said that the constitution of the board was another demonstration of the unwavering commitment of
Tinubu to strengthening governance in institutions.
This, according to him, is entrenching a culture of accountability, strategic oversight, and excellence across the public sector.
The minister said that the board assumed office at a defining moment, adding that their stewardship must be guided by strategic thinking, transparency, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to provide value for money.
He said that the members were expected to provide clear policy direction, strengthen institutional governance, and safeguard public resources.
He urged them to encourage productive partnerships with development partners and the private sector, and ensure that REA remains a model public institution that delivers measurable impact.
“Most importantly, I encourage you to continually ask one fundamental question whenever decisions come before the board: “How does this improve the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Nigerians?
“If that question remains our compass, I have no doubt that the agency will continue to exceed expectations”.
