Hon. Chief Ozioma Bennett Worship Ebonine, the Member representing Njaba State Constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly, has disbursed empowerment items valued at over ₦120 million to his constituents as part of efforts to improve livelihoods and economic stability in the area.
The Ezengwori “December” Empowerment Programme, held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at Central School Umuaka, Njaba LGA, brought hope, opportunity, and visible excitement to residents from different communities within the constituency.
The programme attracted community leaders, party officials, youths, women groups, artisans, and other local stakeholders, reflecting broad community support and interest. Beneficiaries received a wide range of livelihood tools, including shuttle buses, motorcycles, sewing machines, grinding machines, power generators, and other essential equipment aimed at supporting small businesses and self-employment. Large quantities of rice were also distributed to help households meet basic food needs.
Speaking at the event, the Njaba-born lawmaker and oil entrepreneur said the empowerment programme was part of his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and delivering practical benefits to the people. He explained that his legislative work is guided by a people-centered approach focused on improving welfare and creating opportunities.
Hon. Ebonine also outlined several achievements recorded since assuming office. According to him, scholarships have been provided for 63 students across primary and secondary schools in Njaba. He added that his office has helped residents secure employment opportunities abroad, with five beneficiaries already on their way to Kuwait. He further disclosed that support has been given to community projects, including borehole installations, healthcare assistance, and infrastructure improvements, alongside empowerment of youths, artisans, and party members.
“This is the third empowerment programme under my watch in just over two months, and my work is far from over. The next initiative will be during my upcoming constituency briefing, and I will continue to provide effective, people-focused representation,” he said.
The programme was attended by notable personalities, including Hon. Engr. Innocent Ikechukwu Ikpamezie, representing Mbaitoli, and Chief Ugochukwu Obi, Executive Council Chairman of Njaba LGA, who represented Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma.
