The House of Representatives has advanced a bill that seeks to bar individuals above 60 years from contesting for the offices of President and Governor in Nigeria.

Alongside this bill, several others passed second reading, including:
--Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education Bill, upgrading Alvan Ikoku College of Education to a federal university.
--Creation of Ideato West Local Government Area Bill, proposing a new LGA in Imo State.
I--nclusion of Youths & Persons with Disabilities in Political Appointments Bill, ensuring reserved positions in governance.
--Trade and Commerce Bill, allowing both federal and state governments to regulate trade.
--Reserved Seats for Women Bill, increasing female representation in legislative bodies.
--Judicial Reform Bills, including proposals to expedite justice and increase Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justices.
--Creation of New States Bills, proposing Wan State (North Central) and Gobir State (Northwest).
These legislative efforts aim to reshape governance, promote inclusivity, and enhance economic and judicial efficiency in Nigeria.
