On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, undertook a significant journey through several communities within the Bende Federal Constituency.
His visit was marked by the inauguration of several pivotal projects aimed at enhancing the livelihood and educational facilities in the areas of Nkpa, Lohum Imenyi, and Alayi.
These initiatives not only represent a commitment to infrastructural development but also signify a deep engagement with the local community and its needs.
Among the highlight activities of the day was the commissioning of a cassava mill in Nkpa. This facility is expected to empower local farmers by providing them with the means to process their cassava into value-added products.
The introduction of this mill represents a substantial step toward fostering agricultural productivity and economic self-sufficiency within the community.
By attracting such agricultural infrastructure, Deputy Speaker Kalu is championing the cause of food security and job creation in the region.
