President Bola Tinubu has transmitted several bills to the Senate for consideration, including proposals to reform 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 President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
The proposed NDLEA Bill 2026 seeks to provide a consolidated legal framework for the agency’s operations and strengthen its powers, including the investigation of suspected involvement in illicit drug activities.
The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Amendment Bill 2026 seeks to amend the existing 2022 Act, reposition the bureau as an independent authority and expand its mandate. It also proposes transferring supervisory oversight to the Presidency and restructuring its administration.
Another proposal, the National School of Government Bill (ASCON) 2026, seeks to repeal the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act and establish a National School of Government to provide governance training, build public-sector capacity and strengthen institutions.
Tinubu also transmitted a bill seeking to domesticate the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their two Additional Protocols of 1977, which protect victims of armed conflict.
The proposal also covers the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which provides for the prosecution of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
