Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper: Key Bills and Motions, June 10 2026
On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the Nigerian House of Representatives sat to consider a wide range of legislative business, including six new bills introduced for first reading, four bills advanced for second or third reading, and two significant motions. The agenda touched issues directly affecting ordinary Nigerians, from kidnapping ransoms and electoral rules to e-commerce and military pensions.
The House of Representatives met on June 10, 2026, with a packed agenda spanning new legislation, pending bills, and pressing national concerns.
Six bills received their first reading, including proposed amendments to the Electoral Act (HB.2781), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act (HB.2777), and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency Act (HB.2779). A bill for a sixth alteration to Nigeria's Constitution was also introduced (HB.2778).
At second reading stage, lawmakers considered bills to update the Sale of Goods Act to cover e-commerce and digital payments (HB.2541), amend the Price Control Act to specify essential commodities (HB.2542), establish a Chartered Institute of Human Resources and Strategic Management (HB.2508), and amend the Armed Forces Pension Act (HB.2745). Two bills on educational institutions in Bende, Abia State, were listed for third reading.
Two notable motions were also on the agenda. One sought to formally define 'cognate legislative experience' in the House's Standing Orders, meaning members who have completed at least one full four-year term. The second called on the executive to tackle Nigeria's ransom cash economy, citing an estimated ₦2.23 trillion paid in ransoms between 2021 and 2025, and to strengthen anti-money laundering enforcement.
A committee report on establishing a Federal Medical Centre in Monguno, Borno State, was also scheduled for presentation.
