Hon. David A. Ogewu: A Catalyst to Emulate in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency says Paul Edoh Jr.

By. Joy Onogwu

In just two years as the elected representative of Oju/Obi Federal Constituency, comrade Paul Edoh Jr, an Apa-Agatu Born Activist and Journalist analysed the role played by Hon. David A. Ogewu. According to Edoh Jr, “Evang. Ogewu has emerged as a beacon of progress and legislative achievement, setting a standard for public service that his peers like Hon. Ojotu Ojema of Apa-Agatu should aspire to Emulate. While some legislators rely on connections and influence, Ogewu’s unwavering focus on community needs has propelled him to notable success, with a track record of impactful initiatives that promise to enhance the lives of his constituents.” Says Edoh Jr.

 

In an insightful post on his official Facebook page, community development activist Comrade Paul Edoh Jr. highlighted the vital functions of a legislator, which stretch well beyond simple representation, encapsulating law-making, oversight, and active engagement with community challenges. “ Ogewu has adeptly navigated these roles, despite not holding a chairmanship on a high profile committee, and has distinguished himself with significant legislative interventions that aim to uplift Oju/Obi Federal Constituency.

 

Ogewu’s dedication is reflected in a series of bills and motions that prioritize education, healthcare, security, and governance reforms. Among his landmark proposals is a bill for the establishment of the Federal University of Biomedical Sciences in Oju LGA, which promises to pave the way for new job opportunities and educational advancements in the region. Additionally, his initiative to convert the General Hospital in Obarike Ito to a Federal Medical Center aims to enhance healthcare delivery, while motions seeking a military base and fire service stations emphasize the importance of security and emergency response for residents.

 

The proposed Federal University of Biomedical Sciences stands out as a potential game changer, not only elevating the educational landscape but also stimulating local economic growth through job creation and infrastructure development. Ogewu’s approach resonates with the pressing needs of his constituents, showcasing a commitment to their welfare that contrasts sharply with the performance of some colleagues, such as Hon. Ojema, who have yet to produce similar outcomes despite their connections.”

 

Hon. David A. Ogewu’s legislative journey is a testament to what can be achieved through focused and people centered initiatives. His unwavering commitment to his constituents serves as an inspiring example for fellow legislators, underscoring the crucial role they play in fostering progress and innovation within their communities.
