(DDM) – Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has released a detailed account of his two-year legislative journey, proudly listing 34 transformative Bills he has personally sponsored at the National Assembly.
According to Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), the senator made the revelation through a public statement shared on his social media handle, where he highlighted his commitment to “people-centered governance, economic reform, youth empowerment, institutional strengthening, and equitable development.”
Nwoko said the Bills reflect his dedication to building a “stronger, fairer, and more prosperous Nigeria,” adding that his proposals address both national challenges and specific needs of his Delta North constituency.
Among his landmark legislative efforts is the Constitutional Alteration for the Creation of Anioma State, a proposal that seeks to correct Nigeria’s geopolitical imbalance and grant Delta North a distinct state identity within the federation.
He also introduced the Diaspora Voting Bill, aimed at granting Nigerians abroad the right to vote through secure embassy-based and electronic systems, a move that could redefine electoral inclusiveness for millions contributing to Nigeria’s economy from overseas.
Other notable Bills include the Nigerian Youth Entrepreneurship Grant Program, designed to provide seed funding and mentorship for young entrepreneurs; the National Ranching Development and Management Bill, to replace open grazing with structured ranching; and the Cashless Asset Acquisition Act, which seeks to combat illicit financial flows through traceable, cashless property transactions.
Nwoko further proposed the Parliamentary Governance System Act, which advocates a shift from the current presidential system to a parliamentary model, a controversial yet bold move he believes will enhance accountability and reduce governance costs.
His legislative portfolio also includes sector-specific reforms such as the Federal College of Agriculture (Establishment) Bill – Idumuje-Ugboko, Upgrade of Ogwashi-Uku Polytechnic to a Federal University of Technology, and the Establishment of a National Orthopedic Hospital in Onicha-Ugbo, all tailored to boost education, healthcare, and local development in Delta North.
In addition, he introduced Bills on mandatory military service for youths, anti-corruption in professional indemnity systems, restrictions on daytime movement of heavy-duty vehicles, and visa-free entry for African Union passport holders, all of which align with his vision of modernizing governance, improving safety, and deepening African integration.
DDM notes that Senator Nwoko’s advocacy for transparency, youth inclusion, and institutional reform has sparked widespread reactions online.
Supporters praised his productivity, describing him as one of the most active lawmakers in the current Senate.
However, critics argue that the true measure of legislative success lies not in the number of Bills sponsored but in the number passed and implemented effectively.
Some opposition figures questioned whether several of his proposals, particularly those touching constitutional reform and system change, would survive Nigeria’s deeply entrenched political resistance.
Political analysts told DDM that if even half of Nwoko’s 34 Bills become law, his tenure could mark a turning point in Nigeria’s legislative history.
They observed that his Anioma State creation Bill, if successful, could alter Nigeria’s geopolitical map for the first time in decades.
Senator Nwoko, who previously served as a member of the House of Representatives, emphasized that his goal is not just to legislate but to “institutionalize fairness, strengthen democracy, and promote unity.”
“As a proud representative of Delta North,” he wrote, “my mission remains clear, to ensure that governance works for the people, institutions serve with integrity, and every Nigerian feels the impact of effective representation.”
