The age reduction legislation goes
beyond reducing the age for running
for elective offices to also reducing
the age for appointive positions in
the federal and state cabinets . The
1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria ( as amended )
states , “ No person shall be appointed
as a Minister of the Government of
the Federation unless he /she is
qualified for election as a member of
the House of Representatives ” and
that “ No person shall be appointed a
Commissioner of the Government of
a state unless he/she is qualified for
election as a member of the House of
Assembly ” among other
qualifications aimed at ensuring
equal representation in the federal
cabinet , which has also been
emulated across state executive
councils .
