Barring any unforeseen circumstances that may warrant emergency resumption, the recess will last for two months. It offers opportunity for the federal Lawmakers to return to their constituencies to give account of their stewardship, retrospect or review the journey so far in order to project into the future. This is ordinarily the norm.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, representing Enugu East Senatorial Zone, a medical Doctor and Teacher is taking a different perspective. While most Senators embarks on the vacation, Senator Nnamani goes to Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) to teach in the Department of Physiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine. He will however do so pro bono.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In March 2020, the foremost State University appointed Senator Nnamani as a Visiting Professor of Physiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology. This, ESUT said \u201cis in approval and recognition of his works, research and promotion of maternal and child health\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The University Registrar, Dr. Leonard O. Khama confirmed this in the appointment letter to Senator Nnamani.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the letter, the Registrar told Senator Nnamani that \u201cas a Visiting Professor, your duties include block teaching, students supervision and research in your Department and such other related assignments as are consistent with your status\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reacting to the appointment, Senator Nnamani said it is another window to contribute to health sector by helping to train medical personnel and giving back to the society. The two time Governor of Enugu State stated: \u201cI will make my contributions to the university using the available time during recess in Enugu to provide teaching, research and guidance to students\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said he will focus on maternal and fetal medicine, obtretrics, gynecology and medical physiology as well as special clinical areas such as fetus surveillance and complications in pregnancies.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The appointment as a Professor, he reiterated is another opportunity to impact knowledge on the younger generation of health care providers bringing his American health system and Nigerian experiences to bear. The twin advantages, he hopes would enrich the knowledge of his students .<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senator Nnamani, a graduate of University of Nigeria, Enugu Medical School is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Fellow of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria. He belongs to a number of professional societies such as the Society for Perinatal Obstetricians, American Society for Cell Biology, and Society for Gynecologic Investigations amongst others.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is to his credit as the Governor of the coal city State between 1999 and 2007 that ESUT moved from the old campus in Enugu to its new permanent site in Agbani built by him. Senator Nnamani also transformed the then Parklane Specialist Hospital into a modern and well equipped Teaching Hospital and College of Medicine for ESUT.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It should be noted that since his return to the Senate in 2019, Senator Nnamani has made the issue of maternal and child health the centre of his legislative advocacy. He is also an unrepentant promoter of education for the girl child.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He is in the forefront of the campaign against violation of women and children\u2019s rights. He abhors all forms of discrimination against women such as early or forced marriage, child labour as well as obnoxious harmful cultural practices including genital mutilation and denial of right to inheritance.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Informed decisions through sincere dialogue and legislative advocacy, Senator Nnamani believes would put Nigeria in a better stead for the good of all.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hate or love him, Senator Nnamani is a phenomenon, an ideas man and an irrepressible stakeholder in the Politics of Enugu state since the return of democratic rule. His Ebeano political empire has continued to produce the state Governors, Senators and virtually all the political office holders in the coal city state since 1999.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, it is almost certain that the Ebeano family would dictate the pace in Enugu politics based on the political arithmetic. Nnamani unarguably holds sway.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">@Mumeh writes from Abuja .<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;&#8230;.Now Professor of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology By Paul Mumeh The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has embarked on its 2021 annual recess.
