According to the conveners, the bill the #NotTooYoungToRun seeks to reduce the age of political office seekers in Nigeria, and has been submitted to Nigeria's hallowed chambers for assent.
UCJ UNILORIN gathered that the bill has gotten to the Bills and Appropriation Committee where it is being considered. It is in the furtherance of this stride that an awareness walk was staged on Tuesday, 16 May 2017.
The conveners however reiterated that the walk should not be mistaken for a protest or an anti-government walk, but rather a peaceful one that seeks the support of the lawmakers.

Suspect of Stolen Laptop in Faculty of Law, Shows Up
UCJ UNILORIN can confirm that the suspect of the stolen laptop belonging to Mr. Shonaya (also known as Junny) showed up at the faculty today morning.
It could be recalled that the victim, who claimed to have left his laptop at the electronic section of the faculty library in order to attend to a short rehearsal, discovered the said laptop was missing upon his return.
As at yesterday, all efforts to reach Mr. Adeyemi yesterday proved abortive as his line was unavailable.
Mr. Adeyemi however denied the allegation levelled against him when he showed up in the morning.
The Security Unit are currently looking into the matter.
*UPDATED: Crisis Brew at Female Lagos Hostel over Poor Sanitary Conditions*
The alleged inability of the school management to pay the salaries of cleaners employed to sanitize the various school-owned hostels on campus has lead to growing discontent among various occupants of the said hostels.
UCJ UNILORIN gathered that the cleaners had since stopped work due to the development, a situation that has lead to unhealthy sanitary conditions at the various school-owned hostels on campus.
Due to the foregoing, the Hall Representative of the Lagos Hostel (Female), Senator Mutiat, was said to have rallied students staying at the hostel for an attempt at salvaging the situation pending the time the University management will resolve the issue with the cleaners.
According to sources at the hostel, the students were to organize themselves and collect the refuse at various rooms so as to dump them at the hostel's dump site situated at block D.
However, some students were said to have dodged the exercise; a situation that almost led to a fight between the aggrieved students and the supposed culprits.
UCJ UNILORIN can confirm that the matter has been partially resolved, with the students appealing to the Student Affairs Unit to come to their aid and address the various issues affecting them at the hostel. Occupants of Room D12 are also demanding for an apology from D14.
