Kalu, who also serves as the spokesperson for the House of Representatives, pledged that their leadership would prioritize equality, with the needs of Nigerians guiding their decisions.

“We are going to project institutional trust driven by credibility, competence, and capacity so that people can see that the national assembly is an institution they can rely on,” said Kalu.
