Tinubu Proposes Three Bills for Drug Control and Safety
President Bola Tinubu has requested the House of Representatives to consider and pass three executive bills aimed at reforming drug control, enhancing transport safety investigations, and strengthening leadership development in the public service. The bills, presented by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen during a plenary session, include the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Bill, 2026; the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (Amendment) Bill, 2026; and the National School of Government Bill, 2026.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Bill seeks to repeal existing laws and establish a consolidated legal framework for drug control, empowering the NDLEA to investigate illicit drug activities. The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (Amendment) Bill aims to expand the Bureau's mandate to include rail and maritime incidents, repositioning it as a multimodal safety investigation authority.
The National School of Government Bill proposes the establishment of a national institution for leadership development, replacing the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act.
