\n
The Senator representing Abia Central zone, Senator Theodore Orji, has<\/div>\n
\n
been commended by his constituents for emerging top in the list of
\nformer governors in the senate with the highest number of bills.<\/p>\n

Senator Orji was rated the “Highest in Legislative Productivity” with
\nseven bills in a Report Card of the 9th Senate, Volume one, Number one (
\nJune 2019 – May 2020) entitled “How Former Governors Stand in Bills
\nChart of the 9th Senate”.<\/p>\n

However, his predecessor in office as former Abia State Governor,
\nSenator Orji Uzor Kalu, has no bill attached to his name.<\/p>\n

Some of the bills sponsored by Senator Orji and already signed into law
\naccording to the report include: Food and Security Bill, and the
\nNational Centre for Disease Control, NCDC Amendment Bill.<\/p>\n

In the Report Card of the 9th Senate, Senator Abdullahi Adamu,
\n(APC\/Nasarawa West), also has seven bills on the chart.<\/p>\n

Those with four bills each include; Senators Aliyu Wamakko, (APC\/Sokoto
\nNorth); Senator Gabriel Suswam, (PDP\/ Benue Northeast) and Senator
\nIbikunle Amosun, (APC\/Ogun Central).<\/p>\n

Former Governor of Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje (Gombe Central),
\nhas three bills.<\/p>\n

Also, three Senators who were former Governors have two bills to their
\nnames. They are: Senator Kabiru Gaya (APC\/Kano South); Senator Ibrahim
\nGeidam (APC\/Yobe East; Senator Sam Egwu (PDP\/ Ebonyi North); and Senator
\nAdamu Aliero (APC\/Kebbi Central)<\/p>\n

Former Enugu State governor, Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP\/Enugu East) Umaru
\nTanko Al-makura (APC\/Nasarawa South), has one bill, each.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, three former Governors without bills include Senator Ibrahim
\nShekarau, (APC\/Kano Central); Senator Rochas Okorocha, (APC\/Imo West),
\nand Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, (APC\/Abia North).<\/p>\n

A cross section of Abia Central constituents, including Sir Chidiebere
\nNwachukwu, Sir Frank Ibe and Chief Randy Ukanwoke congratulated the
\nSenator for his superlative performance in legislative productivity,
\nadding that his performance ahead of his counterparts was a confirmation
\nthat the zone has a quality representation at the Senate.<\/p>\n

The constituents also commended the senator for delivering many
\nconstituency projects and empowerment programmes in the district
\nparticularly his annual scholarship award and youth empowerment.<\/p>\n

Some of the several completed and ongoing projects by the Senator
\ninclude 12 Classroom Block at Okwuta Community, Umuahia North LGA; 12
\nClassroom Block at Ikem Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA; and on-going Road
\nConstruction Project at Mbawsi, Isiala Ngwa North LGA, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
