Nigerian House of Reps Order Paper 9 December 2025

The House of Representatives sat on 9 December 2025 with 33 bills listed for First Reading — the earliest stage in lawmaking where a bill is formally introduced without debate.

Among the most notable introductions was the Social Media Regulation Bill, 2025 (HB.2643), sponsored by Hon. Sada Soli. A bill to restrict public officers from receiving medical treatment abroad — the Public Officers (Restriction on Medical Treatment) Bill, 2025 (HB.2642) — was also introduced by Hon. Abubakar Ahmad Mohammed. Four separate bills seeking to alter the 1999 Constitution were listed for First Reading.

On healthcare, multiple Federal Medical Centres Act amendment bills were introduced, alongside a bill to establish a National Institute of Interventional Radiology, Cardiology and Neurology in Maiduguri. Education-focused bills included proposals to establish new vocational, nursing, and agricultural colleges in Oyo, Edo, and other states.

Five committee reports from the Committee on Agricultural Colleges and Institutions were presented, covering proposed agricultural colleges and research institutes in Kaduna, Edo, Plateau, and other states.

At least two bills — including one on the National Eye Centre — were listed for Third Reading, meaning they were close to final passage.
