As an Abuja resident, i will have to selfishly follow up the Federal Capital Territory Transportation Authority Establishment Bill; i look forward to extensively analyze the bill here soon. 

Tomorrow we will be looking at the National Youth Development Commission Establishment Bill, the man behind it, it's proposed model and it's benefits to the youth. As members of the youth constituency the EOTM team is actively partnering with the sponsor of the bill, to ensure our collective views are properly represented throughout the bill process. We call on every youth based organization to join the online conversation on this bill starting tomorrow. This is another opportunity to positively engage our legislative process.

Note: you can request any bill of your interest from us, to be delivered to your mail. You can also request we do analysis on the platform, for any bill of your choice.
