The member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Professor Lilian Orogbu, has been honoured with the Legislator of the Year award at the 5th edition of the Anambra Man of the Year (AMTY) award ceremony held in Awka.

Orogbu said the recognition represents more than a personal honour, adding that it is an acknowledgement of a journey that has taken her from the classroom to the National Assembly, where she has continued to combine scholarship, grassroots connection and legislative responsibility in serving the people of the Federal Constituency.

She expressed profound gratitude to the organisers of the award and commended the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Rev. Sr. Prof. Adaoma Igwedibia, and her team for creating a platform that recognizes individuals whose contributions have continued to impact the society.

Dedicating the award to the people of Awka North and South Federal Constituency, Orogbu said the honour reflects not only her individual efforts, but also the shared journey of the people she represents in the national assembly.

“From the classroom to the chamber, my journey continues and I’m just getting started,” she said.

She assured that the award would not make her complacent, but would rather spur her to do more for the people of the constituency.

"This honour comes not as a conclusion of my public service journey, but as an additional responsibility and motivation to deepen my engagement with the people. It will also strengthen my legislative interventions and continue pursuing initiatives that promote opportunities, empowerment and development across Awka North and South Federal Constituency", the lawmaker stated

Some of her constituents who accompanied her to the event acknowledged the lawmaker's growing visibility in constituency representation and legislative engagement and promised her their continued support.
