President [Bola Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Tinubu) on October 12, 2026, sent three executive bills to the House of Representatives, asking lawmakers to fast‑track reforms of drug enforcement, broaden the scope of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau and create a new National School of Government.
The three letters, each marked “Restricted,” were dated 12 October 2026 and were handed to the Office of the Speaker on 13 October 2026, where Speaker Tajudeen Abbas read them aloud during the Thursday plenary session.
In the correspondence, Tinubu noted that the proposals were transmitted in accordance with Section 58(2) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
The measures are titled the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Bill, 2026; the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (Amendment) Bill, 2026; and the National School of Government Bill, 2026.
**What does the NDLEA Bill propose?**
The [National Drug Law Enforcement Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Drug_Law_Enforcement_Agency) Bill aims to repeal the existing NDLEA Act (Cap. N30) and the Indian Hemp Act (Cap.
- of 2004, consolidating all drug‑related offences into a single, modern legal framework. It also grants the agency authority to investigate individuals suspected of involvement in drug cultivation, processing, trafficking or use.
**How will the NSIB amendment change its role?**
The [Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Safety_Investigation_Bureau) (Amendment) Bill seeks to modify the NSIB (Establishment) Act No. 35 of 2022, repositioning the bureau as an independent, multimodal safety investigation authority. The amendment expands its jurisdiction beyond aviation to include rail, maritime and other transport incidents, shifts supervisory oversight to the Presidency, and bolsters its institutional, operational and administrative powers.
**What is the purpose of the National School of Government Bill?**
The National School of Government Bill proposes to repeal the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act (Cap. A4) of 2004 and to establish a new National School of Government, Nigeria. The envisioned institution will serve as a central hub for leadership development, policy implementation and executive capacity building across the public sector.
Tinubu urged the House to give the three bills “expeditious consideration.”
