THE JOURNEY SO FAR:
Upon my inauguration into the office as the house member representing ENUGU EAST CONSTITUENCY 11 at the very well respected hallowed chamber of Enugu State House of Assembly, I immediately designed and developed my programme policy guide TAGGED: HON. RAY UGWU CONSTITUENCY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE” bearing in mind the tripartite functions of a legislator vis-à-vis Representation, Law making and Oversight roles.
REPRESENTATION:
1. During my campaign, one of the major complain from my constituents is total disconnection between them and their previous representatives to which I promised to bring to an end if given the opportunity to serve. I promised to always be with them both in time of happiness and in time of grief. Such disconnection has become a thing of the past as I can boldly report today that within my one year in Office, I have attended over thirty (30) different events in my constituency to console, support and encourage my constituents. “You can verify”

This was done by ensuring that over fifteen roads in my constituency were captured into the 2024 appropriation law. Thanks to the executive governor of our dear state. Barr. Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
5. I also engaged with all the Divisional Police stations and the area command under my constituency to improve and ensure the security of my people.
6. Donated one computer set with printer to Emene Divisional Police Station.
7. I sponsored three constituents to Enugu state skill acquisition centre to acquire skill in fashion and designing under the management of Enugu State ministry of labour and productivity.
8. Facilitated and ensured that Enugu state Rural electrification board captured over Ten (10) communities in my constituency in their 2024 electrification programme for provision of transformers and electrification of areas that are yet to be electrified. I also ensured that a community in my constituency is captured in the provision of good water project by the CSDP.
9. Ensured that my appointment of aids was equitably distributed among the zones under my jurisdiction.
10. I launched a one week free transport scheme where over one thousand constituents where beneficiaries of the project. “You can verify”
11. Recently, we captured over Twenty Constituents into the skill acquisition and empowerment programme of the state government.
12. Last but not the least, I’am currently on a familiarization tour of all the reputable public and private establishments operating in my constituency. My major objective of embarking on this visits is to ensure my constituents are gainfully employed by this companies operating in our Vicinity. My dear constituents, I can assure you all that this frantic efforts shall in No distant time begin to yield the expected results.
LAW MAKING:
law marking is one of the integral role of a legislator, bearing this in mind , I ensured our voice was not lost in the house through contributing and participating actively in the process of law making, motions and other debates in the house. I have drafted two motions. One of the motions is aimed to address insecurity issues in my constituency and the state at large. My second motion is aimed at revitalizing some of the moribund industries situated in my constituency and in other parts of the state. Notably amongst these industries are Sunrise Floor mill, Nigergas, Anamco, Nigersteel, Avob oil and others. I’am very much convinced that when these industries are brought back to life, unemployment and insecurity shall drastically reduce.
OVERSIGHT:
Upon my nomination and inauguration as the chairman, house committee on Youths, Sports and Security by our working and capacity speaker, Rt. Hon. Engr. Uche Ugwu. I immediately swung into action by visiting all the head of security agencies in the state with the aim of collaborating with these agencies to ensure adequate security of lives and properties of our people. In my quest to continue promoting and strengthening the peaceful coexistence between the executive and the legislature, I have strived to maintain peaceful rapport between myself and the ministry, MDAs under my watch, while also ensuring that interest of our people are fully protected. The good performance of Rangers International, our dear club in this current season of Nigeria premier league can as well be attributed to these frantic efforts and sacrifices.
Fellow constituents, all the above highlighted programs, policies and projects are the little i have been able to touch within my one year in office. I strongly believe that all the already laid foundations shall in no distant time begin to yield bountiful fruits.
Once more, I appreciate you all and implore you to continue to pray for me as I continue to make deliberate efforts to take our constituency to greater highs.
Happy one year in office to me.
Hon. Ray Ugwu
ENHA member
Representing Enugu East Constituency 11.
