55th NPF Intake: Ogoja/Yala Constituency Shines Under Hon. Offiono’s Leadership
-Comr. Godsman Ogar wrote

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF), in its 55th intake passing-out parade ceremony for the successful graduation of recruit constables from its academy, Police Training School, Odukpani, Cross River State, and other training centres across the nation, has officially added a significant number of personnel to reinforce the sagging strength of the security apparatus.

While the officers, their loved ones, admirers, and the general public were celebrating the successful enlistment, it is worth noting that no fewer than eighteen (18) constables made the list from the Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency. Ten (10) out of the eighteen were singlehandedly facilitated by the Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Police Institutions, Hon. Godwin Offiono, Esq., who represents Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency.

As a key figure in the Police Institutions Committee, our constituents are leveraging the support mechanisms provided by the lawmaker to achieve their dreams of joining the Police Force. This is what exemplary representation entails. The successful passing out of Oko Angela Ediwe, Eji Kelvin Igelle, Adima Bright Ibre, Amini Paul Ayafa, Idagu Sunday Anyogor, Odidi ThankGod Okate, Ellah Leonard Egbede, Ogar John Agbaka, and Ogboga Victoria is a testament to the lawmaker's commitment to the welfare of his people and his effective lobbying skills.

For the officers, the future of their careers is assured. What is required now is for them to remain steadfast, diligent, and committed to their assignments in order to grow in rank. Bravo to the lawmaker! More grease to your elbow as you continue the good work.

RE: HON. GOFFIO EMPOWERMENT/IMPACT IN YACHE IS RICOCHET IN 18 MONTHS

The recent publication by Fidelis Izor attempting to create a rift between Sen Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe and Hon. Godwin Offiono is misleading. The author's futile effort to pit these two dedicated public servants against each other should be totally disregarded.

Let's set the record straight: Senator Jarigbe and Hon. Goffio are not rivals, but rather complementary forces working tirelessly to uplift the lives of their constituents. While the publication tries to belittle Hon. Goffio's achievements, the truth is that, he has surpassed many of his counterparts in the House of Representatives.

It is essential to recognize that both Senator Jarigbe and Hon. Godwin Offiono share the same political ideology with a common goal: to serve the people of Cross River North and Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency. Both leaders are not in any form of competition.

Senator Jarigbe's impressive track record of infrastructural and human capital initiatives is a commitment to the well-being of his constituents. Similarly, Hon. Offiono's efforts to support his community are genuine and impactful.

We urge the public to disregard this misguided publication and instead focus on the tangible progress being made by Senator Jarigbe and Hon. Offiono. Their collaboration and dedication to public service are a shining example of what can be achieved when politicians put aside petty differences and work towards a common goal.

Let us not be distracted by the author's attempt to stoke unnecessary trouble. Senator Jarigbe Agom and Hon. Godwin Offiono are united in their quest to serve the people, and their partnership will continue to yield positive results for the good people of Cross River North Senatorial District and Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency, respectively.

Surv. Ibe Joseph hails Hon. Godwin Offiono on significant strides; admonishes his 18 Months scorecard as a game changer.

"Synopsis and Significance of Hon. Godwin Offiono's Bills to National Development -JOE IBE

Fundamentally, it is established and commonly known that a legislator's primary role is to create and enact laws. Other duties, however arduous they may be, are merely incidental or oversight functions. Nevertheless, these functions contribute to legislative checks and balances. In the aforesaid roles, the lawmaker representing Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency, Hon. Godwin Offiono has distinguished himself with sterling performance in the last eighteen months as a first timer.

A few days ago, in the publication of Hon. Godwin Offiono's Media Team, they published the scorecard of the amiable lawmaker. The scorecard has sparked mixed emotions within the political sphere, opinions from sociological analysts, and a sort of war of nerves in the media. In the usual characteristics of my principal, he's not ruffled— rather, he's poised and focused to deliver on his campaign promises. A few individuals raised concerns on the quality of bills and motions sponsored and moved by the lawmaker. For the benefit of all and sundry, let me elucidate briefly on the importance of those bills.

Foremostly, it's pertinent to state that the three bills thus sponsored by the lawmaker in the National Assembly are significantly focused on education, agriculture, and constitutional reform, which is a signal to progressive legislative effort to addressing critical areas of national development. Let's take a cursory look at the potential impact of the bills sequentially:

1. Bill to Establish the School of Mines and Geological Studies, Yala, Cross River State, 2023 (HB. 231)

SYNOPSIS:
This bill seeks to establish a specialized institution dedicated to the study of mining and geological sciences in Yala, Cross River State. The proposed school will serve as a hub for developing expertise in mineral exploration, mining engineering, and geological studies, aiming to harness Nigeria's vast mineral resources.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Economic Diversification: By nurturing expertise in mining, the school can support Nigeria's drive to reduce reliance on oil by developing its solid minerals sector.

Human Capital Development:
The institution will train a new generation of professionals, creating employment opportunities and filling skill gaps in the mining industry.

Regional Development: The school’s location in Cross River State can stimulate economic activities in the region, fostering growth, reducing poverty, and addressing the menace of rural-urban drift.

2. Bill to Establish the Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme, 2023 (HB. 232)

SYNOPSIS:

This bill proposes the establishment of a scheme to provide credit facilities to commercial farmers. It aims to enhance agricultural productivity by offering accessible and affordable loans to support large-scale farming operations in the nation.

SIGNIFICANCE
Food Security:
By empowering commercial farmers, the scheme can boost food production, reducing dependency on food imports and ensuring food availability for Nigerians. Through this, food shortages will become food surpluses.

Economic Growth: Agriculture is a major contributor to Nigeria's GDP. Enhanced funding for commercial agriculture is a essential, and it can drive sectoral growth and contribute hugely to economic stability.

Job Creation: Diversifying commercial farming will generate employment across the value chain, from cultivation to processing and distribution. This is what developed countries do. Finally, the last bill:

3. Bill for the Alteration of the Constitution to Create Ogoja State (HB. 1555)

SYNOPSIS:
This bill proposes an amendment to the 1999 Constitution to create Ogoja State from the current Cross River State. It has passed the second reading in the National Assembly, indicating its legislative progression.

SIGNIFICANCE:

Equitable Representation:
The creation of Ogoja State would address longstanding demands for greater political and administrative representation for the Ogoja people. After the amalgamation of the Lagos Colony, Northern and Southern Protectorates in 1914, Ogoja became a province in the southeastern region until 1960 after the independence of Nigeria when provinces were created into states. Since then, all provinces became states leaving Ogoja and Ijebu as the only former provinces yet to be made states.
Improved Governance: A smaller, more localized state structure can lead to more efficient governance and service delivery to the population. Think on this!

Economic Impact: State creation often spurs infrastructural development and economic activities in the new region, benefiting local communities.

From the foregoing, it's crystal clear that the bills represent thoughtful interventions in education, agriculture, and governance. If they become laws, they've the potential to positively transform Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape. We're of the opinion that Hon. Godwin Offiono deserves commendation for prioritizing legislation that addresses key developmental challenges."
