Benjamin Okezie Kalu, a Lawyer, Politician, Legislator, Philanthropist and fast evolving Nigerian Statesman, has, through dint of hard work, coupled with clear vision and humility, transformed himself into national prominence.
Though characteristically modest in his personal carriage, Ben, as he is popularly called by his friends, has grown to be a Man with a large network of contacts and connections. There is hardly any part of Nigeria that Ben does not have friends, associates and allies.
Stability and reliability are characteristic features of Ben. If he identifies himself with any vision, enterprise, relationship or goal, he deploys every lawful instrument at his disposal to make sure such a pursuit materialises.
As a current two-time Member of House of Representatives, Ben appreciates and cherishes the beauty of diversification and adds impetus to the progressive dynamics of the 10th House of Representatives. He has worked himself into being a national bridge builder.
His loyalty to, believe in, and admiration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are not in any way hidden. He identifies fully with any cause he believes in. In his honest estimation, President Tinubu means well for Nigeria, including the South-East of Nigeia. His support for the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government of Nigeria is total and captivating.
In appreciation of Ben Kalu’s immense contribution towards nation building, cohesion and stability, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Most Distinguished Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, conferred on him the very prestigious National Honour of Commander Of the Niger, CON, at the 24th anniversary of Nigeria’s Independence last year, on 1st October, 2024.
Convinced and believing that the erudite Deputy Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives, Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu, CON, really deserves more feathers to his cap, President Tinubu conferred a more prestigious honour, in fact the third highest National Honour, Commander of the Federal Republic, CFR, on Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu yesterday, Thursday (Afor) 12th June, 2025, to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
Equity Global Reporters Ltd congratulates Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu, CFR, and wishes him to continue in the trajectories that have brought him to limelight.
