Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Fedreal Constituency, Rep Unyime Idem, marks the second anniversary of his jinx breaking performance. Jack Lew, American Attorney and Politician, must have had Rep. Unyime Idem in mind when he said that there is no higher calling in terms of a career than public service which is a chance to make a difference in people’s lives and improve the world.
With more than 20 years of experience and resounding track record in the private sector as a successful manager of human and capital resources, providence interjected the glowing career with a switch to public service.
In 2018, he humbly accepted, took part and overwhelmingly won the PDP House of Representatives seat for Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency and was inaugurated on June 11, 2019. He has left no one in doubt that he is a true representative of the people.
This score card encapsulates the accomplishment of Unyime Idem in the last two years that he has been sitting on the seat allotted Ukanafun/Oruk Anam in Nigeria’s House of Representatives.
The pictures contained in this post are presented exactly as they are with deliberate motive to serve as parameters in appraising the representation of Rep. Unyime Idem, Deputy Chairman Communications Committee and Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal constituency.
