The Senator representing Edo South Senatorial District, Senator Neda Imasuen has stressed the need for reforms in the health and education sectors.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions also disclosed that he was sponsoring the Federal Medical Centre Act (Amendment) bill, 2025 at the Senate in achieving these objectives.
The federal Lawmaker noted that the bill will “strengthen the operational framework of federal medical centres, improve service delivery, and make healthcare more accessible to rural and underfunded communities.
Senator Imasuen said his interest in promoting these sectors and reforms was driven by serving the people.
The lawmaker stated this while outlining a series of motions and bills he had introduced in the Senate to address issues of insecurity, education, and healthcare affecting his constituents and Nigerians at large.
Commenting on recent violent attacks in parts of Edo South, the senator urged the Federal Government to reinforce security in the affected areas, investigate the causes of the violence, and implement long-term safety measures to restore confidence in the area.
On education, Senator Imasuen said he had sponsored the Federal College of Education, Abudu (Establishment) Bill, 2024, aimed at establishing a tertiary institution dedicated to training qualified teachers in Edo State.
“The proposed college would boost the quality of education in the region, support economic growth through job creation, and address the chronic shortage of trained teaching personnel,” he said.
