Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper 27 October 2026

The House of Representatives sat on 27 October 2026 with the following business listed for consideration.

On bills, a Senate-sponsored Nigeria Employees' Compensation Trust Fund (Establishment) Bill 2026 received its first reading. Five other bills were listed for second reading. These included proposals to reduce board sizes at university teaching hospitals and orthopaedic hospitals, to replace the old Psychiatric Hospitals Management Board Act with a new National Specialty Hospitals Management Board framework, to improve pension arrangements for National Intelligence Agency staff, and to establish a Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery in Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos State.

On motions, lawmakers were set to consider two notable ones. The first called on the Federal Government to create a clear licensing and regulatory framework for importing electric vehicles, CNG vehicles, and related infrastructure, linking import approvals to investments such as service centres, spare parts availability, and local job creation. The second motion raised concern about recent school fee increases of over 100 percent at some public tertiary institutions, and their potential impact on the Nigeria Education Loan Fund, known as NELFUND, which provides interest-free loans to students.
