Nigerian Senate Agenda for June 2, 2026: Health Bills, Textile Revival Motion & More
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the Nigerian Senate had a packed agenda featuring five new bills for first reading, mostly focused on health sector reform, plus a motion calling for the revival of Nigeria's collapsed textile industry. Lawmakers also considered the confirmation of a nominee to the Code of Conduct Bureau and a bill sent over from the House of Representatives for concurrence.
Key Agenda Items
- Three health sector bills — covering digital health records, alternative medicine, and medical and dental practice — were listed for first reading, all sponsored by Senate Leader Bamidele.
- A motion sponsored by Sen. Sunday Marshall Katung and eight co-sponsors called for urgent government action to revive the textile industry in Kaduna and Kano, citing the loss of over 7,000 jobs when major mills shut down by 2007.
- The Senate was set to consider confirming Barr. Benedict Umeano as a member of the Code of Conduct Bureau, based on a report from the Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions.
