Nigerian Senate Order Paper June 11 2026: Key Bills & Reports
The Nigerian Senate sat on Thursday, June 11, 2026, with a packed agenda that included four new bills introduced for first reading and two major bills scheduled for second reading debate. Among the most significant items was a constitutional amendment bill to establish state police across Nigeria, a subject that has been debated by citizens and policymakers for years.
On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Nigerian Senate had the following business on its agenda:
Four bills were introduced for first reading — meaning they were formally presented to the Senate for the first time. These covered equipment leasing, tenants' rights and landlord-tenant agreements, agricultural input subsidies, and the establishment of an entrepreneurship and mentorship institute in Bayelsa State.
Two bills were scheduled for second reading, where senators debate the general principles of a bill. The first was a constitutional amendment bill to establish state police in Nigeria. The second proposed scrapping the existing Utilities Charges Commission and replacing it with a new National Utility Tariff Coordination Commission to oversee electricity, water, and other utility tariffs.
The Senate also considered committee reports on several bills, including proposals to repeal and re-enact the Legal Practitioners Act, amend the Proceeds of Crime Act, overhaul the Police Trust Fund Act, and update laws on the compulsory registration of births and deaths.
Two bills passed by the House of Representatives — on the Federal Road Safety Corps and the establishment of a Federal University of Medical Laboratory Science in Jos — were listed for the Senate's concurrence.
Finally, a committee nomination hearing was scheduled to confirm Dr. Zainab Marwa as a North East representative on the NDDC Governing Board.
