A first timer, Ben Kalu set National record when he moved the first motion of the Femi Gbajabiamila led Ninth House of Representatives, a feat that has never been achieved by any first timer in the past.

The ‘people’s lawmaker’ as christened by his colleagues due to his sagacity and eloquence at the Floor of the House, Hon. Benjamin Kalu has sponsored several bills within a short space, including the most popular in the House — NiMet Amendment Bill — which has passed second reading.

He was recently honoured with the University of Calabar Distinguished Alumnus Award, in recognition of his developmental strides, excellent achievements and contributions to Project Nigeria.
