Onofiok Luke: Celebrating Three Years Of Robust Legislative Engagement.

-Paul Sylvester

For some analysts, certain legislators represent a given crop of people and quality. Rt. Hon. (Barr) Onofiok Luke, in this case, clearly represents the kind that people yearn for.

For three years now, after emerging Speaker of the 6th Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Luke has exuded legislative intelligence and strategic pursuit for good of the people. Typical evidence is the bills he has sponsored and ideals he stands for.

For instance, a community-conscious Onofiok Luke would, even as Speaker, sponsor the Primary Healthcare Development Bill, Akwa Ibom State Health Insurance Bill, among others. This explains why the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) recently gave him an award, following his disposition in making sure Akwa Ibom State has a fitting healthcare delivery system.

Speaker Luke, by every yardstick, has demonstrated great and rare capacity for leadership that has steered the 6th assembly to great heights.

His passion for the development of the state has seen him ensure, along with his colleagues, that there's a smooth working relationship between the executive and legislature.

Like my brother Itoro Bassey would say, "Speaker Luke has written his name in Gold", therefore we know he will do even more when he represents the good people of Etinan Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

Congratulations, Mr Speaker!
