Ogene said the newly appointed aides are expected to bring their expertise and enthusiasm to their critical roles, especially enhancing service delivery to the constituents.
They will receive monthly allowances aimed at motivating them and enhancing their economic conditions. This financial support will facilitate their ability to carry out their responsibilities with greater ease and effectiveness, unencumbered by financial burdens. The allowances are intended to supplement their income, enabling them to better meet their basic needs and thus allowing them to focus on providing exceptional service to the constituents of Ogbaru Federal Constituency.
On assumption of office, Ogene said he made a covenant with his constituents and Nigeria, outlining his commitment to responsible leadership.
The covenant, made public in February 2024 during a thanksgiving programme to celebrate his victory at the tribunal reads: “I pledge to be a sensitive, responsible, and responsive Representative, working tirelessly for the peace and socio-economic development of Ogbaru Federal Constituency.
“To prioritise the interests of the people, ensuring equity, fairness, and justice for all Nigerians in my lawmaking and oversight responsibilities, guided by the principles of servant-leadership.
“I commit to promoting self-accountability, decorum, propriety, and integrity in public office, setting a high standard for ethical governance. So help me God!”
