Orji Kalu Returns To School Amid Senate Presidency Bid

Senate Chief Whip and former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has returned to his Alma Mater, Harvard Business School in the United States of America, for studies.

Kalu, one of the leading contenders for the Senate Presidency position, disclosed this via his verified Facebook account on Thursday, upon his arrival in the United States.

The Senate chief whip whose first enrolment in Harvard Business School dated back to 1997, said he gained a lot of experience and insight in the early years he studied at the institution.

Kalu said he will be taking a course called ‘Succeeding as a Strategic CFO’ at the school, expressing hope that his decision will improve his service delivery to my constituents and Nigerians at large.

He wrote: “My first academic exercise at Harvard University was in 1997 when I was first admitted into Harvard Business School for studies. During the programme, I gained a lot of insights with satisfactory exposure to the business and world economy.

“Today, I am glad to return to my alma mater-Harvard Business School. I’m taking a course called ‘Succeeding as a Strategic CFO’. To ensure I am best equipped to take advantage of this unique learning opportunity, I have prepared cases in advance of the programme.

“I am confident the addition to the stock of my knowledge from this exercise will improve my service delivery to my constituents and Nigerians at large.”

Naija News reports that Kalu will be contesting the senate presidency seat with the likes of the incumbent Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Godswill Akpabio, Senator Barau Jibrin, Adams Oshiomhole, and Governor David Umahi, amongst others.
