The member representing Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Prof Paul Sunday Nnamchi, has urged the newly appointed principal officers of the lower legislative chambers to ensure progress of the country.
Nnamchi, who gave the charge to the new appointees during the first plenary session of the House, urged them to help the leadership steer the affairs of the Green Chambers.
The principal officers include, Prof Julius Ihovbere as the House Majority Leader, Halims Abdullahi as the Deputy Majority Leader, Bello Kumo as the Chief Whip and Adewumni Onanuga as the Deputy Chief Whip.
Others are Kingsley Chinda as the Minority Leader, Aliyu Madaki as the Deputy Minority Leader, Ali Isah as the Minority Whip and George Ozodinobi of the Labour Party the Deputy Minority Whip.
Nnamchi called on the House Speaker, Tajudeen Abass, to ensure cohesion among members as well as constructive and result-oriented deliberations.
He emphasised the need to work towards entrenching the values of mutual respect, justice, equity and fairness, especially because of the composition of the 10th Assembly.
The lawmaker further expressed confidence that the appointees would speedily and effectively proceed with legislations, deliberations, and oversight for the nation’s benefit.
He, however, urged the new leadership not to let the hope and faith of the electorate fail, even as he urged them to ensure that the House is constantly on the right path to progress, considering the fact that the business of effective representation is of paramount importance.
He also promised his constituents of his unwavering commitment to listen to their yearning always, engage and work with his colleagues in the House, as well as with the Executive at the federal and state levels, to be able to bring proper representation to them.
He also noted his readiness to synergise with lawmakers in the Enugu State House of Assembly was to foster development and progress, and attract democracy dividends to his constituency in particular, and the state in general.
