THE member representing the Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Rt. Hon Nnamdi Ezechi, has expressed concern about the poor enforcement of most Nigerian laws.
Hon Ezechi, while hanging out with Journalists at the Press Centre of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council, in Asaba, noted that there were enough laws in place to address the myriad of socioeconomic and political problems of the country, but that the enforcement of such laws had not been effective enough.
The lawmaker blamed the problem on weak enforcement institutions and policies at variance with the desires and aspirations of the citizenry. Hon. Ezechi commended the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for the attention being given to the Ndokwa nation in his time, stressing that he, as the representative of the people, was happy to be associated with the progress so far made in attracting Federal and State presence to his Constituency.
He called on the Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to show greater commitment to enforcing the laws of the federation, as well as rejig his administration’s policies to fall in line with the present day realities in the country.
Hon Ezechi said his journey to the National Assembly was divine, pointing out that so far he had given a good account of himself by being reasonably vocal and focused on the concerns of his constituents in and out of the Green Chambers.
The lawmaker said it was in his character to always be in the midst of his people, revealing that he had never missed visiting parts of his Constituency on a weekly basis since he became a lawmaker.
He said he was in support of the agitation for the creation of Anioma State, but insisted that the proposed state should be in the South South region.
Earlier, the State Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, (NUJ), Comrade Churchill Oyowe, told the lawmaker that the parley to party hangout was a forum for people in power and stakeholders in the public and private sectors to interact with Journalists in an informal setting.
Comrade Oyowe said Journalists in the state had been following up on the activities of Hon Ezechi at the National Assembly and were happy with his performance so far, even beyond his immediate Constituency.
He encouraged the Parliamentarian not to relent and assured that Journalists in the state would continue to partner with him to ensure he delivered on his mandate.
