The organisers of the Miss Intellectual Nigeria, Znac Inspire, has commended Mr Solomon Dalung, the Minister of Youth and Sports for his support for the ” Not too Young to Run’’ bill.
The group, in statement on Monday in Abuja, said that the Ministry of Youth and Sports under Dalung had lent the youth a platform to showcase their talents in sports, creativity and leadership.
The statement was signed by Znac Inspire’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs Patience Oluwaseto.
“The Not too Young to Run’’ bill has offered the youth an outlet of being heard by the society.
“The minister of youth and sports has encouraged the young people to rededicate themselves to laudable initiatives like ours- Miss Intellectual Nigeria- which is designed to stir up intellectual stimulation among our youths.
“We commend Dalung and Federal Government for giving the youth a chance to be heard, as they are being empowered to explore their leadership capabilities come 2019,’’ she said.
The Senate recently passed the “Not too Young to Run’’ bill which sought age reduction for elective offices in the country.
The bill reduced the age for president from 40 to 35; governor and Senate from 40 to 35; House of Representatives and State Houses of Assemblies was reduced to 25.

Not too young bill should be passed immediately by the senate. Enough of old politicians ruling us in Nigeria. No foresight for them.
