Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper June 11 2026: Bills and Motions
On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Nigerian House of Representatives had a packed agenda featuring 13 bills scheduled for third reading — meaning a final vote before transmission — covering education, aviation, agriculture, and professional bodies. Lawmakers also considered motions on kidnapping ransom payments and a rollback of a constitution review committee report. The sitting matters to Nigerians because several of the bills would create new federal institutions and regulate key sectors of the economy.
The House of Representatives scheduled 16 bills and two motions for debate on June 11, 2026.
Thirteen bills were listed for third reading — the final legislative stage before a bill is passed. These included a bill to repeal and replace the 2007 Merchant Shipping Act, bills to establish chartered institutes for entrepreneurship consultants, mortgage bankers, financial and investment analysts, business educators, and university administrators. Also up for a final vote were bills to establish Federal University Wukari on a statutory footing, create a Grassland and Forage Research Institute in Bauchi State, set up a Rice Production and Research Institute in Kebbi State, amend the Sugar Development Council Act, amend the Nigeria Meteorological Agency Act, establish an African Aviation and Aerospace University in Abuja, and create a Climate Resilient Commerce framework.
Three bills were listed for second reading — an earlier debate stage — covering civil aviation funding reforms, changes to the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency's revenue share, and the establishment of a commission to implement the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement in Nigeria.
On motions, the House considered rescinding a December 2025 constitution review report for further consultation, and debated a motion calling for executive action to tackle ransom payments, citing an estimated ₦2.23 trillion paid to kidnappers between 2021 and mid-2025.
A conference committee report on converting Alvan Ikoku College into a full federal university was also scheduled for presentation.
