A bill seeking to amend the Nigerian Constitution and provide for diaspora voting has made further progress in the National Assembly.
Co-sponsored by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen and Sodeeq Abdullahi, the bill aims to amend the 2022 Electoral Act to enable Nigerians living abroad to participate in elections.
Having previously passed a second reading in July, the bill was initially referred to the Committee on Electoral Matters.
Following additional deliberations on Tuesday, it has now been forwarded to the Constitution Amendment Committee for further legislative review.
This development reflects the lawmakers’ commitment to advancing electoral inclusivity for citizens in the diaspora.
