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.
