NAIJ.com has been specially appreciated for its consistent coverage of the #NotTooYoungToRun movement in the last few months.
The #NotTooYoungToRun movement is a coalition of youth groups across the country whose advocacy led to the passage of the Age Reduction Bill by the National Assembly and the subsequent signing into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
NAIJ.com has been at the forefront of publicizing the good work of the movement - from advocacy visits to peaceful protests to press briefings.
The award was presented to NAIJ.com at the #NotTooYoungToRun Celebration Conference on Thursday, June 26.
