Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper 3 December 2025
On Wednesday, 3 December 2025, the Nigerian House of Representatives scheduled debates on constitutional amendments affecting local governments, final readings of bills to establish new federal institutions, and committee reports covering electoral reform and police recruitment. The session touched on issues that directly affect how Nigerians are governed at the grassroots level, how elections are conducted, and how federal services are delivered across multiple states.
The House of Representatives sat on 3 December 2025 with a packed agenda spanning legislation, committee reports, and constitutional amendment debates.
Ten bills were listed for Third Reading — the final stage before a bill is passed. These included bills to establish a Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery in Zaria, a Petroleum Training Institute in Ibeno (Akwa Ibom State), Federal Medical Centres in Kumo (Gombe) and Oleh (Delta), and a Child Online Access Protection Bill aimed at protecting Nigerian children from online violence.
On committee reports, the Committee on Electoral Matters presented findings on a bill to fully repeal and replace the Electoral Act 2022. The Committee on Police Affairs presented a report on a bill requiring at least 15 percent female representation in police recruitment.
The most substantial portion of the day involved debates on constitutional amendments under the Local Governments cluster. These included a bill to formally establish local government councils as a recognised tier of government, a bill to strengthen audit oversight of local government finances, and several bills to rename or correct the names of specific local government areas in Delta, Oyo, Kaduna, and Osun states.
