There are indications that the NotTooYoungToRun Bill aimed at removing age limits for running for elective offices would sail through in at least two-thirds of the 36 states Houses of Assemblies in the country.
The constitutional amendment Bill which was passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate particularly seeks to promote youth inclusion in decision making and deepen intergenerational dialogue through the removal of constitutional age limits for running for elective office.
At a town hall meeting organized by the Youths Initiative for Advocacy Growth Advancement (YIAGA), held in Abuja, the chairman of the conference of speakers of state legislature, Mr. Ismaila Kamba, who is also the Speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, assured that none of the states assemblies would be opposed to the passage of the bill.
