I will move to step down the bill for now."</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/13/just-in-reps-drop-bill-making-university-degree-minimum-qualification-for-president-govs/">JUST IN: Reps Drop Bill Making University Degree Minimum Qualification For President, Govs</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
