Why We Need Abians In Diaspora Commission Now — Lawmaker

Dr. Mike Ukoha

The member representing Arochukwu Constituency in Abia State House of Assembly, Dr. Mike Ukoha has said when passed into law, Abians in Diaspora Commission Bill will bring development to the people.

Hon. Ukoha who is the House Minority Whip is the sponsor of the Bill.

The lawmaker who was a guest at FLO-FM 94.9, Umuahia further remarked that the Bill will help in bringing Abians in Diaspora to help in addressing the developmental needs of the state.

“The essence of the Bill is to invite Abians in Diaspora who are professionals in their chosen field, to invest in areas like Engineering, Medicine, ICT, Education and many more’‘ he said.

He expressed regret that despite the beautiful ideas Abians in Diaspora come home with, they have not been fully harnessed, a situation he attributed to lack of defined body to handle such.

He used the opportunity to congratulate Abians in Diaspora, on the celebration of National Diaspora Day which took place recently.

Hon. Ukoha assure them of his resolve for the speedy passage of Abians in Diaspora Bill, due to its numerous benefits.

The Lawmaker expressed delight in the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Abia State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) for providing huge relief materials worth millions of naira to Isu community on the 25th of June, 2020, for the displaced persons there, due to crises.

He stated that he is working in synergy with his colleague in Cross River State, to ensure there is a lasting Peace between Isu and their neighboring Utuma/Ukwa Clan.

Hon. Ukoha, thanked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, for ensuring that there is peace in Isu community, Arochukwu L.G.A, and used the opportunity to assure the people of Isu of lasting peace in the area soon.

He also thanked the State Commissioner for Culture/Tourism, on the dynamic and wonderful job she is already doing in the Ministry and promised to ensure that the House Committee on Culture/Tourism, will carry out their oversight functions, without interfering on her job and without compromising on their oversight functions.
