To allude that Hon Clement lnemesit Jimbo, the Honourable Member representing Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency of Akwa Ibom State is a sartorial gentleman with an uncommon touch of finesse and panache is an understatement given that the action-oriented federal lawmaker oozes self-confidence, high society refinement and classy comportment in all positive ramifications
The impeccably well dressed, immensely handsome and suitably turned out Deputy Chairman, House Committee on National Planning and Economic Development is a darling of the media because he is not known for aimless chatter as is common with some in the political class.
But when Hon Clement Jimbo speaks, he resonates with clarity, brevity and matchless lucidity.
His statements on policy issues and critical matters of the day are clad with iron cast vision and purpose, and geared towards illuminating, dissecting and resolving complex and contentious issues of national, subregional and international importance.
An astute parliamentarian, Hon Clement Jimbo has been of high moral standing, very vibrant and productive on the floor of the House all through this legislative dispensation.
He has contributed substantially on national issues and has indeed positioned himself through sheer determination and confidence in the Green Chamber where he argues the cause of his people and thereby renders dividends of democracy to his constituency.
In the vital areas of lawmaking, representation and oversight functions, a highly resourceful Hon Clement Jimbo has made his mark as a force of stability and order in the House and his mature counsel, timely and sincere advice, intellectual vigour and firepower as well as his unshakable integrity and honour has placed him in good stead with the leadership and membership of the National Assembly.
Some of the epochal bills and motions sponsored by a proactive Hon Clement Jimbo include:
A Bill to Establish the Federal School of Medical and Laboratory Science, Eka-Midim; A Bill to Establish the National Commission for Technology Transfer, Promotion and Acquisition, and A Bill to Establish the Federal College of Technology Transfer, Abak in Akwa lbom State.
Some of the motions moved by an agile Hon Jimbo include:
A motion calling on the federal government to construct the collapsed Obiobom Community Bridge at Abak LGA; motion for the amendment of the 2014 Pensions Act and a motion on the need to end food insecurity through mechanised agricultural revolution across the nation.
In the realm of women and youths empowerment, an adept Hon Clement Jimbo has not been caught flat footed as he has embarked on numerous projects and programs aimed at capacity building, economic empowerment, financial contribution and material support to improve the welfare of the people and alleviate endemic poverty at all levels.
This initiatives include the disbursement of N50,000 each to 80 students from his constituency studying in different tertiary institutions across the country; empowerment of 250 youths with N80,000 each for agro-allied ventures after training; sponsorship of free medical outreach, from which over 2,000 constituents benefited, with the exercise covering dental surgeries, tooth extraction, medical diagnosis, treatment, and free medications undertaken by different medical professionals.
A benevolent Hon Jimbo
has also. distributed over 3,000 free school bags to primary school pupils, trained over 100 females in different skills with starter packs to start their businesses while also training over 70 youths in ICT and empowered them with brand new laptops each to engage themselves in order to reduce unemployment in the constituency.
lnstalation of solar street lights across the constituency, renovation of the Village Halls and donation of 15-tonne tipper lorries to the Tipper Loaders Association, Abak Chapter are some of the other noteworthy projects that the action lawmaker has also facilitated.
Having delivered crucially on the legislative, representative, oversight and women and youths empowerment fronts, it behoves on all and sundry to join hands with the dynamic, articulate and result-oriented Hon Clement as he continues to do what he knows best; the constant and consistent delivery of democratic dividends to his beloved.
To God be the Glory.
