He praised the team spirit and dedication exhibited by members, stating that their collective effort will bring Nigeria closer to a constitutional framework that is truly representative of the people's aspirations.


ā€œThe journey towards achieving this goal has been marked by challenges, but our resilience and shared vision have kept us moving forward. We have heard the voices of the people, and we are committed to ensuring that their aspirations are reflected in the final document. This constitution will be one that truly embodies the will of Nigerians,ā€ he added.


Kalu likened the committeeā€™s role to that of architects shaping the future of Nigeria and urged members to continue working together beyond the retreat. ā€œYou are the architects of a greater Nigeria. You are the cooks in the kitchen baking a better future. Do not relent. Your hard work and dedication will yield rewards for all Nigerians,ā€ he said.

Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu. Nigerians can expect a comprehensive, well-considered, and impactful exercise that strengthens our democracy and fosters national development.ā€
