Youth Quota In Parliament Bill

Building A Parliament That Reflects Nigeria's Young Population

Young Nigerians constitute more than 60% of the country's population, yet remain significantly underrepresented in legislative institutions. The Youth Quota in Parliament Bill seeks to change that by guaranteeing meaningful youth representation across the Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly.
