Nigerian Senate Order Paper 14 October 2026: Key Bills

The Nigerian Senate sat on Wednesday, 14th October 2026, with a mix of new bills and a committee report forming the main business of the day.

On the bills side, Senate Leader Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central) sponsored two bills for first reading. The first seeks to amend the law establishing the National Senior Secondary Education Commission. The second proposes the creation of a National School of Government. A third bill, sponsored by Senator Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi (Kebbi North), targets the establishment of a National Bio-diversity Protection and Management Agency.

All three bills were at first reading stage, meaning they were formally introduced to the Senate for the first time. No debate takes place at this stage.

On committee reports, Senator Ipalibo Harry Banigo (Rivers West) was listed to present the report of the Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary) on a bill to amend the University Teaching Hospitals (Reconstitution of Boards) Act. The bill, carrying two Senate Bill numbers (908 and 1058), concerns how the governing boards of federal teaching hospitals are put together.

Looking ahead, two committee screening exercises were also scheduled for Thursday, 15th October 2026, covering the Committees on Women Affairs and Finance.
