Nigerian Senate Order Paper June 10 2026: Key Bills & Reports
The Nigerian Senate scheduled a busy sitting on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, featuring four new bills for first reading, two judiciary-related bills for second reading, and committee reports on legal and police matters. The agenda touched on issues ranging from environmental health and consumer protection to court capacity and how proceeds of crime are handled — matters that directly affect everyday Nigerians.
On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the Nigerian Senate sat for its 131st sitting of the Third Session of the 10th National Assembly.
Four bills were listed for First Reading — meaning they were being formally introduced. These covered environmental health control, university teaching hospital boards, compensation for economic trees affected by construction or oil exploration activities, and amendments to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission Act.
Two bills were listed for Second Reading — a stage where the general principles of a bill are debated. Both dealt with the judiciary: one proposes increasing the number of Federal High Court judges, and the other seeks to raise the number of Court of Appeal justices from 70 to 110 while also introducing virtual court proceedings.
A bill on Factoring, Assignments and Receivables Financing was listed for concurrence — meaning the Senate was being asked to align with a version already passed by the House of Representatives.
The Senate also considered committee reports on two bills: one to repeal and re-enact the Legal Practitioners Act, and another to amend the Proceeds of Crime Act. A report on repealing and re-enacting the Police Trust Fund Act was also listed.
Several committee meetings were scheduled for the same day, including screenings for the Niger Delta Development Commission and an interactive session on the Safe Schools Initiative.
