Enugu– A member of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr. Okey Mbah, has sponsored the registration of 250 students for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations.
Mbah, who represents Nkanu East State Constituency and serves as Chairman of the House Committee on Housing and Foreign Investment, disclosed the initiative during an interview with Factsdaily in Enugu on Thursday.
Mbah said the examination fees were paid for 250 indigent students in his constituency as part of his commitment to supporting education during his three years in office.
He said his representation had focused on effective lawmaking, constituency engagement and attracting development projects. According to him, he has sponsored bills and motions while facilitating projects in education, healthcare, infrastructure, youth empowerment and security.
The lawmaker added that he had monitored the implementation of government projects in the constituency and disclosed that the House Committee on Housing and Foreign Investment, which he chairs, had amicably resolved more than 35 petitions.
He also said he regularly engages with his constituents to promote transparency, accountability and inclusive governance.
“Constant interaction with my constituents provides an opportunity for me to render an account of my stewardship and, more importantly, to listen to their concerns and suggestions,” he said.
The lawmaker applauded Gov. Peter Mbah for the tremendous development his administration had brought to his constituency and Enugu State in general within three years in office.
