He noted that many youths from the constituency have benefited from vocational and digital training opportunities sponsored by the federal lawmaker, enabling them to acquire relevant skills and improve their economic prospects. He added that some beneficiaries have also participated in international capacity-building programmes designed to expose them to modern practices in technology, agriculture, and business management.
The NIODM president further highlighted the scholarship opportunities provided by Hon. Idem for students at different levels of education, saying the initiative has helped ease the burden on families while encouraging academic excellence.
He also commended the lawmaker's support for traders, artisans, and small-scale entrepreneurs through grants, equipment, and business support packages aimed at promoting self-reliance and local economic growth.

“Hon. Unyime Idem has remained consistent in his commitment to improving the lives of his constituents. His programmes have empowered individuals, strengthened families, and created opportunities for many people across the federal constituency,” he said.
He called on residents of Ukanafun and Oruk Anam to continue supporting initiatives and leadership that promote development, empowerment, and sustainable progress.
