This initiative, jointly organized by the French Senate and National Assembly and coordinated by Campus France, offers young lawmakers and other parliamentary workers a unique platform to engage in high-level parliamentary training and knowledge exchange.
The program is designed to deepen participants’ understanding of legislative processes, policy formulation, and international governance standards.
Through this experience, Shittu, representing her constituency in Kwara State, will gain critical insights into the intricacies of parliamentary work, enriching her capacity to serve in the Nigerian legislature.
Shittu’s participation highlights her commitment to progressive governance and youth representation in Nigeria.
As a trailblazer for young people in politics, she continues to inspire a new generation to engage in public service and governance.
