**Empowering the Future: Hon. Martins Esin’s Commitment to Youth and Community Development**
In a commendable display of commitment to his constituents, Hon. Martins Esin, the Member representing the Oron/Mbo/Okobo/Udung Uko/Urueoffong Oruko Federal Constituency and the good friend of Hon. Ojotu Ojema, concluded a transformative capacity building program aimed at empowering 100 youths and women. This initiative focused on equipping participants with invaluable skills in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), agricultural technology, and a plethora of entrepreneurial skills including tailoring, phone repairs, barbing, hairdressing, cosmetics, poultry, and fisheries.
While we in Apa-Agtu dwell in old system of empowering the future. Hon. Esin is making a meaningful impacts.
The successful training program, which spanned various locations across the constituency, culminated in a celebratory event held in Oron. During this event, beneficiaries received vital resources, including laptop computers, substantial financial support, and essential tools for both agricultural and entrepreneurial ventures. This investment not only equips participants with tangible skills but also fosters a spirit of innovation and self reliance within the community.
In addition to this initiative, Hon. Esin demonstrated his dedication to education by distributing 500 school bags, thousands of exercise books, and other essential educational materials to Community Secondary Schools within his constituency. This act underscores his understanding of the critical role education plays in the development of young minds, and his commitment to ensuring that students have the necessary tools for their academic success.
As the Chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Youth Development, Esin’s efforts reflect a broader vision of fostering growth and entrepreneurship among the youth in his constituency. His proactive approach to building the capacity of young people not only enhances their skills but also contributes significantly to the local economy, creating a vibrant and self sustaining constituency.
These empowering initiatives are not just inspiring stories; they also serve as a model for other legislators, including Hon. Ojotu Ojema, who may benefit from learning about successful programs like those implemented by Esin. In the coming weeks, I will present Hon. Ojema and his supporters with insights into other laudable projects undertaken by his legislative other of his friend’s, who, like Ojema, is a first time legislator. Despite their shared status as newcomers, Esin’s impactful programs and dedication to his constituents have garnered significant support, positioning him favorably for re-election.
The contrast in outcomes is notable; while Esin’s efforts resonate with the people and enhance his electability, there are growing concerns regarding Ojema’s responsiveness to the pressing needs of his constituents. This disparity highlights the importance of active engagement and impactful leadership in achieving lasting support from the electorate.
As the political landscape evolves, the imperative for legislators to prioritize the voices and needs of their constituents cannot be overstated. By embracing models of success like that of Hon. Martins Esin, Hon. Ojema has an opportunity to redefine his approach and secure the support of his constituency, ensuring that their cries for attention and assistance do not go unheard. In these challenging times, effective representation can determine not only a legislator’s success but also the overall development and prosperity of the constituency they serve.
I still remain your sincere brother, comrade Paul G Edoh Jr.
