The president was with the Senate on Thursday afternoon at 2.30pm today May 31, 2018 in Abuja, to put pen on paper and sign the historic bill. The bill was sponsored by Honourable Tony Nwulu of the state house of Assembly.

2. Eligible age for aspirants for members of the Federal House of Representatives will be reduced from 30 to 25 years; and
