Nigeria’s first political reality TV show, ‘Nigeria House of Commons’, has concluded its debut season and confirms renewal.

Created by Africana League, a civic platform dedicated to strengthening youth participation in governance, the show brought together young Nigerians from across the country to simulate the House of Representatives through 13 episodes.

Each episode explored national issues including the removal of the fuel subsidy, food price regulation, the Disability Act 2018, social media control, health workforce migration, and state policing.

Beyond the screen, ‘Nigeria House of Commons’ evolved into a movement that inspired young people to view leadership as service. Since its launch, the show has drawn over 6,000 YouTube subscribers and recorded more than 20,000 total views.

Speaking on the success of the first season, Glory Ukwenga, Executive Director of Africana League, said the show was created to close the gap between young Nigerians and governance.

“What we saw this season confirmed that young people rise to the challenge when given a platform to express themselves and engage meaningfully.”

Preparations are underway for the second season.
