Tinubu Proposes National School of Government Bill 2026

President Bola Tinubu has submitted a request to the Senate for the approval of the National School of Government Bill 2026, which seeks to repeal the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act. This proposal was communicated through a letter read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, during a plenary session.

Tinubu emphasized the need for the new institution to focus on leadership development, policy delivery, and executive capacity building. He referenced Section 58 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, in his request.

The bill aims to create a dedicated framework for enhancing the leadership skills of public officials and ensuring effective implementation of government policies. If the bill is passed, the National School of Government would serve as a national center for these objectives, replacing the existing framework established by the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act, A-4, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
