The prestigious award was presented to Senator Onyesoh on Monday, December 14, 2024, at a ceremony held at the NICON Luxury Hotel, Garki, Abuja.

The lawmaker stood out among his 108 colleagues for his outstanding leadership, unwavering commitment to the welfare of his constituents, and dedication to promoting good governance in Nigeria.

“I am deeply honored and wholeheartedly accept this remarkable recognition from the Senate Press Corps, the very body that observes and reports our legislative activities. This award is a testament to the fact that the little we are doing is being noticed. It also serves as an encouragement to continue striving for the betterment of my people and Nigeria at large.”

The former Chairman of the Senate Press Corps, Mr. James Itodo, commended Senator Onyesoh for his exceptional performance, describing the award as a well-deserved acknowledgment of his responsive and effective representation. He highlighted the Senator’s role as Chairman of the Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs Committee, noting his significant contributions in fostering inclusivity and equitable governance.
