From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
The deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has appealed to Nigerians to fully support the various economic reforms by President Bola Tinubu administration.
Kalu, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, made the appeal, when he met with the 2025/2026 Cohort of Nigerians at the Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States of America ( USA), at the weekend.
The deputy also canvassed support for the reserved seats bill, which is seeking to create special seats for women, in the National and state Houses of Assembly.
According to him, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an intentional, deliberate leader that knows the direction he is headed and he is taking steps to take the country to that direction. That’s the truth. I say this without sounding political and I will still say what I am saying even if I was not a member of the ruling party or in politics.

“You need to wear your unbiased lens to do your comparative analysis between now and before without sentiments, without trying to sound politically correct. Just view it, you will see. Reformers seek learning and knowledge.”
He explained that the reserved seats bill, is a part of broader efforts to enhance inclusivity and representation in Nigeria’s development.
The deputy speaker noted that “What this bill seeks to do is to create a space for women. You are thinking home and it’s an advantage for Nigeria that those outside the shores of Nigeria have not forgotten Nigeria.”
Kalu noted that Nigerians at Harvard and other parts of the world remain connected to their homeland, despite being outside the shores of Nigeria, and are committed to contributing to its betterment.
