A user on X, formerly Twitter, named Mechelito@Onyema_7, claimed that Hon. Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi, the member representing of Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives doesn’t post about the insecurity issues in Eha-Amufu and his efforts to impact his constituents on his X handle, @sunday_nnamchi. The user supported his claim with a screenshot of Nnamchi’s X account page.
However, it’s worth noting that Professor Nnamchi’s low online presence doesn’t necessarily reflect his efforts and output. He was raised by Catholic priests and has a humble disposition. Before venturing into politics, he was involved in humanism, providing free computer training to students in his local government area, Enugu East. This initiative, which aims to expose students to information and communication technology (ICT) education, has trained over 2,000 students as he has since expanded it to accommodate his constituents from Isi Uzo immediately he was elected into the National Assembly. 
# Key Achievements
-Scholarships*: Nnamchi has offered scholarships to hundreds of indigent students from various communities within the constituency, including non-indigenes residing in Enugu East/Isi Uzo. Sewed school uniforms for pupils in primary schools and facilitated employments for a few constituents.
– *Infrastructure Development*: He deployed ₦300 million worth of solar-powered streetlights to communities in Enugu East Local Government Area last year and plans to replicate same in Isi Uzo this 2025.
– *Education and Healthcare*: Nnamchi has built and renovated classroom blocks, provided medical outreach programs, and offered free medical treatments and medications to constituents who couldn’t afford them.
– *Security*: He raised a motion on the Eha-Amufu killings on the floor of the House of Representatives on the 19th December, 2023 prompting the House to urge the Inspector-General of Police and the Chief of Army Staff to deploy adequate security personnel to Eha-Amufu and also directed the National Emergency Management Agency, (NEMA) to provide relief materials to the affected victims.
Professor Nnamchi also issued a strongly worded press statement in December 2024 reminding the relevant security agencies of the need to step up their operations in Eha-Amufu. The motion and the subsequent press statement issued the following year when the hoodlums struck again in 2024 were widely reported by both online and major newspapers as can be observed with a few examples of the publications below.
– “Lawmakers Seek Urgent Action To Address Insecurity In Enugu State” by Gloria Essien, Abuja (Voice of Nigeria online, December 4, 2024)
– “Enugu attacks: Reps urge FG to intensify efforts against insecurity in S/E” (Vanguard Newspaper, December 4, 2024)
– “Task FG to address insecurity in South East” by Ndubisi Orji (Sun Newspaper, December 5, 2024).
Nnamchi has sponsored 36 establishment and amendment Bills and numerous motions as at March 2025. The Order Paper, an authoritative in-house journal of the National Assembly, adjudged him the most performing legislator from the Southeast in 2024 ¹.
I want to assure the above X user that all Hon Professor Nnamchi’s social media accounts will be put into proper use henceforth to keep constituents like him updated with Professor Nnamchi’s legislative and constituency engagements.
