Senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, on New Year Day, canvassed that a deliberate effort to promote equity, justice, and fairness in the allocation and management of national resources will guarantee peace and unity among the diverse segments of the federation.
Nnamani is of the view that perceived injustices in the country can be reversed if political leaders will make equity, justice, and fairness the cardinal principle of governance.
In his goodwill message to Nigerians to usher in the new year, the former governor of Enugu State opined that Nigerians are good followers but need the leaders to lead by example. He urged leaders at all levels to make conscious efforts to contain the escalating insecurity and restiveness in the land by doing the right things.
Senator Nnamani stated that “All these can be accomplished if the allocation and distribution of resources and appointments into key government positions reflect the federal character and geo-political balancing in the country“.

Dr. Nnamani, a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology(FACOG), hopes that the implementation of the 2022 national budget would correct the previous shortcomings and imbalances in the previous arrangements.
He expressed optimism that the National Assembly in the new year would be more diligent in its oversight functions to ensure that ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs ) comply with the Appropriation Act.
The Senate Committee Chairman on Cooperation & Integration in Africa/NEPAD, however, assured his constituents in Enugu East of his continued quality representation, saying that whatever is due to them would not be compromised, just as he tasked them to play their parts as law-abiding citizens.
