Newly elected house member targets bills on youth empowerment and development

One of the newly elected members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Johnson Chukwuobasi representing Awgu South constituency has promised to support bills and motions aimed at supporting youth empowerment and programs.

Johnson who stated this at his reception after his inauguration also said that he would give his constituency quality representation through proactive response to issues. “When I get into the business of legislation proper, we will be discussing about how our people will be positively affected, how we will benefit more from the ongoing developments in the state,” he said.

Johnson said he was going to make good use of the media and other appropriate medium to convey the challenges of his constituency to the house and Enugu state government to attract attention. “My local government Awgu is one of the oldest local government in the state, but
in terms of development we are a bit far from others in terms of development, hence one of my duties would be to convince my colleagues to see the truth in terms of infrastructure, roads, education and agriculture for us to be remembered, as you know the game of legislation is a collective one,” he said.

According to the house member, his plans for the development of the youths in the state through sports development, skill acquisition for many youths to become employers of labour would be his priority. He called on the people of Awgu to continue supporting the governor of Enugu state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his administration to enable him continue to give the people more dividend of democracy.
