The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Youth in Parliament, Hon. Olamijuwonlo Ayodeji Alao-Akala, has disclosed that the National Assembly would enact laws that enhance youth involvement in policy-making and national development.
Hon. Alao-Akala made this statement during the commissioning of a state-of-the-art facility donated by Mr. Seyi Tinubu to the House Committee on Youth in Parliament, located on Mississippi Street, Abuja.
The building, which boasts an e-library, a physical library, and a co-working space, is designed to support young parliamentarians in their legislative duties and foster collaboration on youth-focused initiatives.
The Young Parliamentarian Forum, a group recognized by the United Nations, comprises National Assembly members under the age of 40 who work together to develop innovative ideas and engage with young Nigerians interested in governance and parliamentary processes.
