Style is everything. In dressing there are styles, in teaching there are styles; in fact style is that unique approach which one employs to distinguish oneself and stand out from the crowd. It reflects one’s personality, taste and aesthetic. It conveys identity, creativity and individuality. It’s an expression of inward mind displayed outwardly.
Style is not just in Arts such as in writing, fashion, music or lifestyle, it also applies in natural and social sciences. For instance, the automobile inventions by different brands of cars such as the use of different fuel systems, carburetor or injector are technological styles of the inventors. In social science, styles dwell in various concepts such as leadership approach, communication methods, parenting styles or even conflict resolution styles. At the end, the converging aim is to achieve a desired result of improvement. 
Philosophers such as Nietzsche and others have explored style as a way of expressing individuality, tradition, and even moral character; Nietzsche, for example, saw style as emerging from a community’s way of life and being passed down through generations, while also allowing for individual innovation. He linked style to psychological and physiological expression, suggesting that good style comes from those who share similar psychology and taste.
True to the philosopher kings, Prof Paul Nnamchi, representing Enugu-East/Isi-uzo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives has a background that connects him to ensuring that he prioritizes human resource development. As an ex-seminarian he has the moral responsibility of ensuring that men and women of good faith hold the key to the society’s development. Growing up from poor parental background and becoming a professor of global recognition, Nnamchi knows that it was only education that could have brought him to the limelight.
Being well-read and in adherence to his Igbo maxim that ‘one whose palm kennel was cracked for him by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble,’ Prof Nnamchi has refused to be severed with his past, but in the instead has ensured that whoever is interested in acquiring standard education gets it at the lowest cost if not free.
As a lecturer in the University of Nigeria,
Nsukka (UNN), Nnamchi had commenced giving people opportunities of harnessing human capital resources and upon getting into the National Assembly, nearly two years ago, he upgraded the sponsorship of his annual Information Communication Technology (ICT) training for the upper secondary school students and expanded it into the two local government areas of his constituency in Enugu state.
As if he had been to the National Assembly earlier, Nnamchi quickly attracted the award of tertiary institution scholarships to over 200 indigent constituents through the Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB), an Advance level examination program that allows candidates to gain direct admission into 200 level of Nigeria universities and some foreign institutions.
Realizing that one essential prerequisite for attending primary and secondary schools, even in tuition-free, is clothes, Prof Nnamchi went and procured school uniforms for the indigent primary school constituents which he distributed among the needy.
Still on education and Nnamchi’s realization of the ultimate importance of human capital development, the legislator had since articulated bills which have passed second readings and public hearing up to clause by clause considerations for the establishments of Federal University of Agriculture in Ako-Nike in Enugu East local government area and a College of Health Technology Mbu, in Isi Uzo local government area of the constituency.
Bills have also been presented for the upgrading of the federal College of Education Eha-Amufu into a University of Education, same as for the establishment of a Skills Acquisition Centre in Ikem, Isi-uzo LGA and Gifted school at Trans-Ekulu, Enugu East Local Government Area.
