flag Nigeria's Senate passed a bill to ban under-18 military recruitment, aligning with child rights laws.

flag The Nigerian Senate has passed a bill for second reading that would ban the recruitment of anyone under 18 into the military, aligning the armed forces with the Child Rights Act and international standards. flag The proposed reform seeks to replace the outdated 2004 Armed Forces Act with a modern, constitutionally compliant law that strengthens civilian control, ensures fair trials, and protects military personnel’s rights. flag Key changes include salary-based penalties, judicial review of military convictions, and the appointment of qualified military lawyers to represent the forces in civil court. flag The bill now moves to specialized committees for further review.
