President Bola Tinubu has transmitted a series of bills to the Senate for consideration, including proposals to reform the legal framework governing the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), amend the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Act and establish a National School of Government.
The bills were conveyed to the Senate by its President, Godswill Akpabio, in accordance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
One of the proposals, the NDLEA Bill 2026, seeks to establish a consolidated legal framework for the agency’s operations and strengthen its powers, including its capacity to investigate individuals suspected of involvement in illicit drug-related activities.
Another proposal, the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Amendment Bill 2026, seeks to amend the existing 2022 Act to reposition the bureau as an independent authority and expand its mandate.
The proposed amendment also seeks to transfer supervisory oversight of the bureau to the Presidency and introduce changes to its administrative structure.
Tinubu also transmitted the National School of Government Bill (ASCON) 2026, which seeks to repeal the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act and establish a National School of Government.
The proposed institution is intended to serve as a national centre for governance training, public-sector capacity development and institutional strengthening.
The President also transmitted a bill seeking to domesticate the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their two Additional Protocols of 1977, which provide for the protection of victims of armed conflict.
The proposed legislation also seeks to provide a domestic legal framework for implementing the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which addresses genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
