Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji MNSE and his colleagues at the 7th Abia State House of Assembly have no doubt performed so excellently well that they receive accolades not only from right thinking Abians and neutrals but also from both the Presidency and the National Assembly for their dexterity in the prompt and exceptional discharge of their duties.

While Nigerians have persistently clamoured for ‘Restructuring’ as a panacea to the myriad of challenges besetting the nation, the National Assembly finally heeded the call to amend several areas of the Constitution that will enhance the sociopolitical and economic fortunes of the country by embarking on the amendment exercise after which it sent the work to the 36 state Houses of Assembly for their consideration and concurrence.

Knowing how important this is to Nigerians and the huge benefits that will accrue to Abians in particular and Nigerians in general from it, the Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji-led House of Assembly promptly worked assiduously on the Bill sent by the National Assembly in March this year, over an extended period of time, and passed same by giving its concurrence on June thus becoming the first House of Assembly to have completed work on the 44 items in the 5th Alteration of the Constitution. Seven other States have also eventually concluded theirs. They are Kogi, Ogun, Edo, Katsina, Lagos, Imo and Ondo. The National Assembly has lamented that Unless something drastic happens, they are set to miss the October deadline since two-third of the State Houses of Assembly is required to give their concurrence before they can conclude and pass the Amendments to the President for his assent. To celebrate Abia State House of Assembly’s feat, the National Assembly did a full page paid publication in Nigerian newspapers showering encomiums on the Abia Lawmakers.

The story was not different when the Abia State House of Assembly became the first and, till date, the only State House of Assembly that has domesticated the Diaspora Law by passing the Abia State Diaspora Commission Law, a feat that drew the applause of the Presidency at the time. Apart from its benefits to Abians in the diaspora, the Commission is already creating jobs for Abians.

Other Bills which the 7th Abia State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji has passed include but not limited to the following:

  1. H.A. B 1: The Abia State House of Assembly Service Commission, 16th July 2019.

This is to promote the true Independence of the Legislature as practised in advanced democracy

  13. H.A.B. 55: The Abia State Tele-Health Care Agency Bill 2022
  14. H.A.B. 56: The Abia State Food Banks Bill 2022

There are several other Bills and Motions of great impact on the people by the 7th Abia State House of Assembly that we will publish in the next part of this publication.

For example, in the heat of the then seemingly intractable border crisis between the people of Arochukwu LGA and their neighbours from Biase and Odukpani LGAs in Cross River State which always left several dead, the Abia State House of Assembly on the 16th of March, 2020, dispatched a high powered delegation led by the Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon Ifeanyi Uchendu to meet with relevant government functionaries including members of the Cross River State House of Assembly with a view to finding a lasting solution to the crisis.

The journey saw the delegation also meeting with the Deputy Governor of Cross River State, Prof Ijemot Evara Esu who also doubled as the chairman of the State’s Peace and Conflict Resolution body.

A strongly worded communique appealing to the warring communities was issued at the end of the meeting with other practical steps taken to ensure the restoration of peace to the areas, and it has remained so till date, thereby saving lives that would have ordinarily been lost if the Assembly had not intervened.

One doesn’t need to look too hard to see the importance of these Laws passed by the Abia State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji as they concern security, job creation, promotion of democratic principles and ideals, protection of the fundamental human rights of citizens, youth empowerment among other dividends of democracy to the people.

There are also several Motions and oversight functions of the Assembly on the Executive that have also yielded positive results for the people.

We shall be looking at these and more in our subsequent writings.

Even at this stage, with the scanty information provided so far on the activities of the 7th Abia State House of Assembly, we make bold to state that the Abia State House of Assembly will rank among the best three if not even the best among Houses of Assembly in the entire federation.

Go and verify! Some of the live transmissions and our regular updates on the plenaries of the House will help you except you are being deliberately mischievous, loquacious and cantankerous
