The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Rep. Kingsley Chinda, has bagged the 2025 Leadership Award for integrity, stewardship, and transparency in public service.
The award was presented to the Frontline leader by the Centre for Credible Leadership and Citizens Awareness (CCLCA) in conjunction with Naijablitznews and Hellosis Media in Abuja.
Accepting the award, Rep. Chinda said he was dedicating the award to Nigeria as he fervently prays for the country to return to its former glory.
The Rivers State House member said it’s time for sober reflection by Nigerians, considering happenings in the country.
“I fervently pray that God should help us get things we have left undone to enable us to bring Nigeria back to its place of pride. To this end, I dedicate this award to all Nigerians,” he declared.
Presenting the award on behalf of the Director General of CCLCA, Gabriel Nwambu, the Associate Editor of Naijablitznews, Ms. Gloria Ikibah, described Rep. Chinda, who represents the Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency of Rivers State, as not just a legislator, but a force for positive change who has been in the forefront of Nigerian politics since 2011.

“The hallmark of a dedicated legislator, as demonstrated by Rep. Chinda, is the ability to table motions and bills that directly alleviate the plight of Nigerians. In this 10th National Assembly, his impact has been immediate and profound.
“We specifically celebrate his determined effort to amend the Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD Act), 2010.
“By seeking to extend this Act to cover other critical sectors of the Nigerian economy, he aims to ensure that Nigerians across all levels, not just those in the oil and gas sector, enjoy an overwhelming fallout of economic growth and skill development.
“This move is designed to grow the Nigerian skill and economy astronomically.
“We also recognize his fierce protection of national interest, as seen in the recent outright condemnation of the proposed unequal trade agreement with the UK, which would have compromised the standing of Nigerian legal practitioners.
“His stance here demonstrates an unwavering commitment to equal and fair partnership,” Ms. Ikibah said.
