Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper June 4 2026: Key Bills & Motions
On Thursday, June 4, 2026, the Nigerian House of Representatives sat for Order Paper No. 137 of the 10th National Assembly's Third Session, with a packed agenda covering 15 new bills at First Reading, five bills at Second and Third Reading stages, and two motions touching on electoral representation and the NYSC scheme. The session covered a wide range of national concerns including food security, healthcare, education, trade, and youth welfare.
The House of Representatives met on June 4, 2026, with lawmakers considering a broad set of legislative business.
On new bills, fifteen were listed for First Reading — meaning they were being formally introduced for the first time. These included four bills transmitted from the Senate covering food and agriculture: a National Cassava Policy Coordination Council, a National Food Reserve Agency, and a National Rice Development Council. Other introduced bills covered a National Internal Audit Agency, amendments to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act, a Sickle Cell Disease management bill, a Legal Aid Act amendment, and two bills related to establishing a framework for Nigeria's participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Five bills were listed for further debate. The Federal University of Technology, Babura, Jigawa State bill was scheduled for its Third Reading — the final stage before passage. Four others were listed for Second Reading, including bills to establish a Federal Medical Centre in Iyamho, Edo State, and to provide additional funding for the South-South Development Commission.
Two motions were tabled. The first called on INEC to restore the long-suppressed Orolu State Constituency in Osun State, citing a 2014 court order INEC has not complied with. The second raised concerns about government offices rejecting NYSC corps members, leaving graduates without placement opportunities.
