While plenary debates and committee hearings dominate the headlines, it is the behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring that often defines effective representation.
For Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, this groundwork is beginning to yield tangible results—particularly in facilitating federal employment opportunities for his constituents.
In recent weeks, several indigenes of Delta North have secured appointments in key federal government agencies.
These developments are part of Senator Nwoko’s deliberate and ongoing efforts to ensure his district is not sidelined in the distribution of national opportunities.
Among the appointees is Henry Akwunna, who now serves as Higher Technical Officer II (Engineering) at the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA). Also at NIWA, Nnabuife Peter Moeteke and Elijah A. Onyeshinye have been appointed as Officer II (Civil) and Officer II (Engineering), respectively.
In the education sector, Enudi Jane Nwakaego and Echefune Chiazor Elise have both secured positions as Assistant Lecturers at the Federal Polytechnic, Ukana.
Other notable appointments include Okolie Mary, who has been named Higher Executive Officer (General Duties) at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and Kawih Rufus Ugbolue, who received a provisional appointment with the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
Senator Nwoko has made it a priority to quietly leverage various networks and institutional channels to secure these opportunities for qualified constituents. According to his office, this is just the beginning, as more appointments are expected shortly under his watch.
By facilitating these placements, Senator Nwoko continues to demonstrate that impactful representation goes beyond legislation—it also involves ensuring that his people are meaningfully included in the governance and development processes of the nation.
