He later served as Commissioner for Power before returning to the Lands and Survey Ministry in 2024.

Onuegbu previously served as Executive Chairman of Ngor Okpala Local Government Area during the administration of former Governor Ikedi Ohakim.
He was also a pioneer spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State.
Governor Uzodinma, while appointing him, expressed confidence that Onuegbu would bring his experience, commitment and spirit of teamwork to the new assignment.
The governor charged him to discharge his responsibilities in line with the administration’s 3R agenda.
