Against the backdrop of belief that all structures of government will lower activities because of the coming campaigns and elections scheduled for early next year, the Imo State House of Assembly won\u2019t be part of this schedule.<\/p>\n
Reason is because the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emeka Nduka has disclosed that activities of the House shall be on.<\/p>\n
Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0recalls that during campaigns and elections, activities of State Government and agencies like the State Legislature move at snail speed.<\/p>\n
Based on what Speaker Nduka said during opening of plenary on Tuesday, there will be a paradigm shift this time.<\/p>\n
Speaking while welcoming his colleagues on the floor of the House, Nduka said\u00a0 “As we have moved into\u00a0 the campaign period in preparation for the general election, I wish our dear colleagues who are pursuing one political position or the other success in their various\u00a0 endeavours.<\/p>\n
“But let us remember that Imo State House of Assembly has not shut down and will not because of election.\u00a0 I therefore request that despite the rigor and tight schedule of campaign,\u00a0 we must endeavour to come to plenaries regularly and promptly. It is a duty we owe our constituencies and by extension Imolites.<\/p>\n
“We must pursue and discharge our legislative\u00a0 duties with vigor and commitment until\u00a0 the\u00a0 end of the life span of the\u00a0 9th Assembly.<\/p>\n
“We must take our core legislative assignments- law making, oversight and appropriation seriously”.<\/p>\n
The Speaker further extolled the Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma for rebuilding and handing over a World-Class Complex to the Lawmakers after many years.<\/p>\n
He added, “Dear colleagues, you will agree with me that we have never had it this good. The overhauling of the entire edifice came with unusual classic Hallow\u00a0 Chamber. Today, the plenary is going on\u00a0 in a\u00a0 digitalized\u00a0 artistic\u00a0 Hallow Chamber of conducive\u00a0 ambience for work.\u00a0 Many have argued that not even the National Assembly is better equipped than ours. Where we are sitting\u00a0 now, as you can see, is well equipped\u00a0 with\u00a0 latest technology that makes\u00a0 our legislative process efficient, effective and seamless.<\/p>\n
“At this juncture, we must be grateful to God Almighty for the gift of His Excellency, Distinguished, Senator Hope Uzodimma (Onwa), as the Governor of Imo State. The\u00a0successes we have recorded in Imo State, particularly the reconstruction of our\u00a0\u00a0 Assembly Complex, would not have been possible\u00a0without\u00a0 the patriotic zeal, insight, love for the legislature and\u00a0 dogged determination of our Governor to place Imo State among the best in the comity of States”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
