Emmanuel Ekon: Uplifting the youths and uniting Abak Federal Constituency By Abasiama Etukakpan (Jnr)

Youths are known to be leaders of tomorrow in their capacity as people that can impact on the society effectively if given proper guidance, protection, encouragement and support to move ahead in life.
These are some of the things leaders worldwide have not really given credence to and hence as caused a good number of young men and women going astray in their life pursuit and future endeavors.
In my careful analysis of leaders in this part of the world, I have recently discovered the credence a leader and public office holder has given to young persons to ensure their future is bright and that they have a bright and rewarding future, this is seen clearly in the representation of the Chairman Local Content Committee and Member, Abak Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt(Hon)Emmanuel Ekon.
Since he assumed office in 2011, Mr Ekon has always thought of programs he should do to encourage young men and women from his constituency to be leaders of tomorrow and good ambassadors of the constituency, being a believer of the popular saying that when you build the youths, you build the nation, hence his extensive thought of actively engaging young men and women from his constituency through his lofty programs, brought forth the construction and first class equipping of an ultra modern ICT Center, first of its kind in the whole country, this lofty project and wonderful edifice was situated across all the Local Government Areas in the Federal Constituency, which all has been made judicious use of and youths trained on the prerequisite for today's basic ICT knowledge acquisition, a project that has touched lives of many of his constituents, youths in particular and have prepared them for a better tomorrow. From the same essential ICT training, it is also on record that a good number of youths from the area have benefited enormously from,this was done as the Honorable member foresaw what the future holds in store in terms of the evolving trend in technology, hence that dream has brought forth Jamb examination which today is being written with the aid of ICT, with this development, the youths of Abak federal constituency are not lacking behind in such evolution, hence many youths of the constituency have had admissions on higher institution of learning through the future foreseeing and the able leadership of the Abak federal spokesman in the green Chambers of the National Assembly.
Another important aspect that the Abak federal constituency representatives has undergone that has indeed built the youths is the engaging them and assistance in employment of the youths of Abak federal constituency in Government agencies, department and parastatals which a good number of young men and women have been meaningfully engaged in various capacities,one of which I saw during my findings, a young man from Ika, who was assisted by Mr Emmanuel Ekon,this said young man is about 26 years of age, one will wonder what hold the fate of this Abak young immigration officer at the age of 50, of course, other things being equal, he shall hold office as Comptroller of Immigration courtesy of the fabulous representation of Mr Ekon, apart from this young man, more than 100 youths of the constituency have been meaningfully employed and hence earn a living not begging for a living, credit must be given to Mr Ekon for looking beyond now but the future.
Yes,also recently during the 2017 Jamb registration, it shocked all from the constituency that Emmanuel Ekon's effective representation was also extended to the jambites form the constituency who were assisted in the purchase of jamb forms to ensure that Abak youths have sound and quality education in tertiary institutions. for those that had purchase the form already,the magnanimity of Mr Ekon was extended to them as he gave our financial support to them to ensure they have a sense of belonging courtesy of the impactful leadership of Mr Ekon and all smiled home on that very day and prayed for God to bless him abundantly.
Also,the Oil and Gas Training undergoing in Lagos,Nigeria is also a testimony of the superlative representation of Mr Ekon, up on till today, more than 100 youths from the constituency are being trained in oil and gas which they are paid to assist them in their training, the said training is being undertaken in different numbers and all are also bring carried in his leadership and representation. Of course, this training is made possible through the track records of Mr Ekon and his duty of responsibility as Chairman, Local Content Committee in the 8th House of Representatives.
Conclusively, in uniting Abak federal constituency, Ekon's leadership style of carrying all along has kept an indelible mark in the sands of time, as his constituents see him as a detribalized leader as he sees all as his own self and has done everything within his power to ensure that everyone is indeed happy According to him, he sees his federal constituency as paramount to him and he should carry all along in his activities and representation.
Emmanuel Ekon's representation has been rated as the best in this part of the world and he has indeed uplifted the youths and united the entire Abak federal constituency in his superlative representation and people oriented leadership.
