Under-30s ignored in world's parliaments

Only 1.9% of the world’s 45,000 parliamentarians are aged below 30.

 Full Report

Nearly a third of single or lower houses of parliament
and
nearly 80 per cent of upper houses
surveyed do not have a single Member of Parliament (MP) below the age of 30.

Only four countries - Sweden, Ecuador, Finland and Norway – have 10 per cent or more MPs below 30 years.

Report Summary

The overall figures for young MPs rise to 14.2% for those under 40,
and 26% for those under 45. 
In all age groups, the figures fall far short of the corresponding numbers for their share of the population. People aged 20-44 make up 57 per cent of the world’s voters, according to UN figures.

This is Jigawa, population 4 million, 361 thousand, and 2 people in 2006

I previously commented that Lagos swallows up Kano three times.  I subsequently downloaded google earth to confirm this with real images, not just maps.  
Interestingly, I also found interactive satellite images of Jigawa State, the slider bar lets you zoom in until you can almost count the trees. This is Dutse, the administrative capital of Jigawa State.

The heart of Dutse

Some other key population centers in Jigawa are Hadejia at about 2 x 2 kilometers, Gumel slightly smaller, Zoma centered on a lake, and Birnin Kudu whose 4 km perimeter you might encircle in 30 minutes, jogging.  There are impressive agricultural lands covering most of the state: see vast areas around Albasu and Aljara for example.
