ABUJA — Hon.
Benjamin Okezie Kalu has emerged as the Chairman, Media and Public
Affairs Committee (Official Spokesman), Federal House of
Representatives.
Igbere TV reports that Hon. Ben Kalu is All
Progressives Congress (APC) member representing Bende Federal
Constituency at the lower legislative chamber.
Speaker of the
House, Femi Gbajabiamila, had on Thursday, announced the composition of
the Chairmanship of the various Standing Committees.
Elected to
represent the good people of Bende in the green chamber, Hon. Benjamin
Kalu hit the ground running immediately he was sworn in as a lawmaker in
the Ninth National Assembly, June 11.
A first timer, Ben Kalu
set National record when he moved the first motion of the Femi
Gbajabiamila led Ninth House of Representatives, a feat that has never
been achieved by any first timer in the past.
The ‘people’s
lawmaker’ as christened by his colleagues due to his sagacity and
eloquence at the Floor of the House, Hon. Benjamin Kalu has sponsored
several bills within a short space, including the most popular in the
House — NiMet Amendment Bill — which has passed second reading.
He
was recently honoured with the University of Calabar Distinguished
Alumnus Award, in recognition of his developmental strides, excellent
achievements and contributions to Project Nigeria.
Indeed, the Abia born lawmaker truly deserves this latest feather added to his leadership cap.
We all at Igbere TV News wish the legal practitioner cum Federal Lawmaker the very best on his new assignment.
