In a concerted effort to reduce unemployment and promote grassroots development, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, Senator Neda Imasuen, representing Edo South Senatorial District, has facilitated the employment of several constituents in federal institutions and spearheaded major community development projects across the district.
As part of his legislative mandate to tackle joblessness and improve youth productivity, Senator Imasuen has successfully secured federal job placements for numerous constituents—a move that has not only provided economic relief to local families but also enhanced institutional capacity in key public service sectors.
Through his intervention, constituents from Edo South have been recruited into several federal agencies, including two new officers in the Nigeria Police Force, who have supported efforts in community policing and local security enhancement.
Seven appointments to the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) bolster public representation in the agency responsible for promoting justice and accountability.
One constituent is placed in the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), contributing to the nation’s public health protection.
Two individuals recruited into the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), enhancing the national data management infrastructure.
Five successful placements at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Benin, strengthening healthcare service delivery.
Senator Imasuen emphasised that these efforts are a reflection of his commitment to equitable federal representation and long-term empowerment. “Employment is central to dignity and development. Our goal is to open doors and ensure Edo South is not left behind in the national conversation,” he stated.
In addition to his employment facilitation efforts, Senator Imasuen has launched an ambitious electrification project designed to improve access to power and enhance security in communities across the senatorial district. The project involves the installation of electricity transformers and over 700 solar-powered street lights in multiple towns and communities.
“This is a proactive response to the needs of our people. By lighting up streets and communities, we are fostering safety, encouraging economic activity, and embracing environmentally responsible development,” Senator Imasuen said during a recent inspection tour of the installations.
A detailed breakdown of the solar streetlight distribution highlights the scale and reach of the project: Okpame Street– 20 solar lights, Aghedo Street – 26 lights, Ugoneki Community – 13 lights, Umulua, Igbanke – 29 lights, Aragua Street, Off Oreoghene – Installed, Utekon Community – 20 lights, Osunde Street, G.R.A – 15 lights, Amagba Community – 13 lights, Iyengumwuena Street, Off Falomo, Ugbor – 13 lights, Ihogbe– 38 lights, Chief Ihama’s Palace, Ihogbe – 9 lights, College Road off Wire Road – 20 lights, Ehirobo Street, Off Benin Technical Road – Installed, Ogua Community – 30 lights, Igoumo Community– 30 lights, Ikhueniro Community – 30 lights, Azagba Community – 30 lights, Eyean – 30 lights, Aduwawa, NTA Road – 30 lights, Egba Market Road– 30 lights, Philip Ediagbonya Street– 15 lights, Idelegbagbon Street, Off Falomo – Installed, Owen Street, Amagba – 13 lights, Osayogie Street, Oluku – 43 lights, Iyobosa Street, BTC– 30 lights, Neda Imasuen Street, Amagba – Installed, Odiguetue Village– 30 lights, Imadeyi Street, Off Falomo– Installed, Omoregbe Street, Ogumwenyi– 15 lights, Ogba Hilltop, Airport Road – 10 lights, Iguogbe Village, Uhunmwonde – 59 lights.

Senator Imasuen’s dual-pronged approach—combining employment creation and sustainable infrastructure—is gaining commendation from residents and community leaders alike. His focus on tangible, grassroots-impact projects is being hailed as a model of constituency representation.
Community leaders have lauded the initiatives for not only improving daily life but also stimulating local economic activity, enhancing security, and promoting environmental sustainability.
“As a legislator, I am committed to ensuring that democracy translates into real development for our people. These interventions are only the beginning,” Senator Imasuen affirmed.
With continued plans for expansion and a clear vision for inclusive growth, Senator Neda Imasuen is emerging as a leading advocate for people-centred governance in Nigeria’s National Assembly.
