Opinion of Titus Agbo,
The Member representing the people of Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Chairman of the Nigerian–Irish Legislative Friendship Committee and Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), Hon. Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi, Oduko N’Mba of Ikem Uno Kingdom, is an accomplished academic-turned-democrat who has risen above detractors to redefine representative politics in the 10th Assembly.
A pioneer Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Hon. Prof. Nnamchi left no one in doubt about his intentions when he joined the race in 2023 to represent Enugu East and Isi-Uzo in the Green Chambers of the National Assembly.
With the mantra “Let’s Do It Better,” it was clear he came with a different agenda from what was previously regarded as the norm.
Today, he is widely recognised as a beacon of hope for the people of Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency.
The lawmaker, who traversed renowned ivory towers across Europe before returning to his homeland to lecture at UNN, has demonstrated leadership defined by courage, vision, and uncommon commitment to public service.
His unwavering dedication to nation-building and proven record of performance reflect a deep sense of responsibility to his constituents.
Through sustainable development initiatives, youth empowerment programmes, and consistent support for indigent constituents, Professor Nnamchi has continued to demonstrate compassionate, people-centred representation.
Leaders of this calibre are rare in the 21st century, and the people of Enugu East/Isi-Uzo are proud to have him at this defining moment.
His annual computer training programme for secondary school students, which predates his entry into politics, as well as scholarship awards to indigent students across the constituency, further underscore his commitment to grassroots development and investment in the next generation of leaders.
Professor Nnamchi has also championed and delivered impactful projects, including the construction and renovation of classroom blocks in primary and secondary schools, installation of solar-powered streetlights, annual medical outreach programmes, and provision of electricity transformers to several communities across the constituency.
These achievements have rightly positioned him as a true man of the people.
Despite being a first-time legislator, he has displayed remarkable wisdom, integrity, and competence.
Within just two years in office, he has recorded measurable successes as a silent achiever whose works speak louder than words.
He has sponsored fifty-three bills and several impactful motions, with the landmark being the Bill for the establishment of the Federal University of Agriculture, Ako-Nike (FUAA), Enugu State.
As the 2027 election cycle approaches, the direction is clear. Professor Nnamchi’s performance is speaking volumes.
The chorus across Enugu East and Isi-Uzo remains the same: “One good turn deserves another.”
This was vividly demonstrated on January 3, when the people of Ikem Uno Kingdom conferred on him the title “Oduko N’Mba,” a symbol reserved for rare and exceptional individuals.
Earlier, the people of Ako-Nike honoured him with the prestigious title “Enyi One Na Nike,” meaning the first elephant of Nike, further underscoring the depth of appreciation for his legislative accomplishments and people-focused leadership.
