The deputy speaker also canvassed support for the proposed reserved seats bill, which seeks to create special seats for women in the National Assembly and state legislatures. According to him, the legislation is aimed at strengthening inclusivity and giving women more voice in governance.

“What this bill seeks to do is to create a space for women,” Kalu explained, noting that increased female representation would benefit Nigeria’s democratic and developmental journey.

He commended Nigerians abroad, especially those in academic institutions like Harvard, for staying connected to their homeland and showing commitment to contributing to its progress despite living overseas.
