The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has withdrawn a bill that aimed to make voting mandatory for all eligible Nigerians.
The bill, which he co-sponsored with Daniel Asama Ago, was meant to change the Electoral Act 2022 to encourage more people to vote and strengthen democracy.
In a statement, his media aide, Musa Krishi, said the decision to pull the bill came after speaking with many people and groups across the country.
