‘My Scorecard’ — Sen. Ned Nwoko Reels Out Achievements Ahead of Second Term Declaration

Senator Ned Nwoko has outlined his achievements in Delta North Senatorial District, emphasizing infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic development as key pillars of his stewardship while signaling his intention to consolidate progress ahead of the 2027 political cycle.

In a statement addressed to constituents, the lawmaker said his representation has been guided by measurable improvement in the lives of the people rather than rhetoric, stressing a commitment to consistent and inclusive development across the district.

Nwoko pointed to a series of infrastructure interventions, including the installation of solar-powered streetlights across urban and rural communities, which he said have enhanced security and boosted nighttime economic activity.

He also highlighted the distribution and installation of electricity transformers in several communities to restore power supply for households and small businesses.

On water access and environmental management, the senator cited the provision of solar-powered boreholes to improve access to clean water, alongside erosion control and drainage projects aimed at mitigating flooding and protecting farmlands and residential areas.

Education featured prominently in his report. According to Nwoko, classroom construction and renovation projects have been carried out to improve learning conditions, while 150 students have benefited from scholarship awards within Delta North.

He added that 1,500 students across the district’s nine local government areas were supported with registration for the 2026 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.

The senator also disclosed expanded scholarship initiatives, including support for 150 students under a Sports University programme and 500 beneficiaries under a broader scholarship scheme extending beyond the district.

In the health sector, Nwoko said medical outreach programmes have delivered free consultations, diagnostic services, and medications to residents, particularly in rural communities.

He added that primary healthcare centres have been renovated and equipped to improve service delivery.

He further highlighted efforts to combat malaria, noting that preventive campaigns and treatment access have been scaled up across Delta North and beyond.

A proposed bill to establish a national Malaria Elimination Agency, he said, is currently awaiting a third reading, which he described as a critical step toward institutionalizing the fight against the disease.

Agriculture and economic empowerment were also identified as priorities. Nwoko said his office has facilitated access to tractors and modern farming tools, supported fish farming and livestock initiatives, and promoted cassava processing to strengthen food security and local value chains.

Additionally, he referenced human capital development programmes targeting youths, women, and small business owners through training, financial support, and digital skills acquisition.

Community-focused projects such as market construction and the development of modern town halls were also cited as part of efforts to enhance local commerce and civic engagement.

Looking ahead, Nwoko said his focus will be on expanding ongoing projects and ensuring that development reaches all communities within Delta North.

“Our journey is one of continuity, stability, and steady progress,” he stated, expressing confidence that continued support from constituents will enable him to deepen impact and build on existing gains.
