Deputy Speaker Benjamin Okezie Kalu
Today, the House of Representatives resumed plenary for the year 2026, marking the commencement of another legislative cycle dedicated to service, responsibility, and national progress.
In line with our custom, the House suspended today’s legislative activities to pay tribute to the late members of the National Assembly who passed on during the holidays.
As we begin the work of the year, our resolve to advance legislative interventions that drive national development, strengthen democratic institutions, and enhance the wellbeing of Nigerians stands firm.
With renewed strength and vigour, we are fully committed to addressing the pressing challenges before our nation and working collaboratively to chart a sustainable path toward growth, stability, and shared prosperity for all Nigerians.
