Visionary leadership is one where the leader’s decisions are anchored on a bird’s eye view of his/her people and society. From that vantage point, the leader is able to identify the different aspects of his/her people’s lives, their needs, and how addressing specific aspects of these needs will align to a functional whole that ultimately addresses in a well-rounded manner the core challenges of the people.

As the representative of the good people of Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Rep. Sam Onuigbo’s representation has been informed by addressing different aspects of his constituents needs with the view of setting in motion a process that engenders self-sustainability and continuous growth. One critical way the National Lawmaker did this was through human capital development.

In what follows, we will highlight most of them.

*Human Capital Development Efforts by Rep. Sam Onuigbo*

1. Provision of employment for his constituents in the Civil Service; Military; paramilitary bodies; Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government; academic institutions; civil society organisations; and in the private sector.
2. Empowerment of women and youths with motorcycles and grinding machines.
3. Training of women and youths on fashion designing and the provision of sewing machines for them.
4. Training of youths on the installation of solar panels, POP and painting, and web design.
5. Training of women and youths on fish farming by the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Lagos.
6. Training and empowerment of 1,500 men and women on how to start and manage small businesses.
7. Training and empowerment of 200 men and women on poultry farming which was followed by the provision of galvanized battery cages, Point-of-Lay birds, bags of feed, and start-up fund.
8. Training and empowerment of 100 graduates in Arts and Culture.
9. Empowerment of 250 farmers with fertilizers, coveralls, knapsack sprayers,pesticides, etc.

The vision behind these efforts by Odozi Obodo is to ensure that his constituents have sustainable livelihood means through which they can also impact on the lives of others.
