TVC E. On Wednesday 8th June, The League of Progressive Ambassadors of Nigeria (LEPAN) congratulated young Nigerians for their tenacity as a bill seeking to reduce the age of candidacy required to run for elective positions in the country passed second reading in the House of Representatives.

The group noted that it received with great pleasure news that the bill scaled through second reading and has been committed to the constitution review committee.
President of the group, Adewunmi Emoruwa said to the press that the group was encouraged by the level of interest and support the drive has received from majority of young Nigerians, and remarked that it was worthy of note that the House of Representatives decided to follow the path of progressiveness as other nations are making progress through deliberate youth inclusion and participation.
