The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ben Kalu, has sought partnerships with Australia and Rwanda to enhance women’s representation in governance, security, and mining, among other areas.
Kalu made the call in separate meetings yesterday with both countries’ embassies’ delegation led by Leilani Bin-Juda from Australia and Christopher Bazivamo from Rwanda, at the National Assembly, Abuja.
He told the delegation that Nigeria is rich in natural resources, and the mining sector offers huge potential for growth and development.
Acknowledging Australia’s mining expertise, Kalu sought collaboration to share best practices, technology, and sustainable methods for responsible resource extraction.
He urged Australian partners to support Nigeria’s constitution review, focusing on gender equality and human rights.
