President Bola Tinubu will review the Executive National Policing Bill on September 3, 2026, according to the Presidency. This announcement comes alongside the unveiling of a public information portal, nationalpolicingbill.com, where Nigerians can submit their thoughts and position papers to influence the legislation. The Presidency's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, provided these details during a briefing with statehouse correspondents.
The review and presentation process is set to take place between July 27 and September 14, 2026. The final package is expected to include various components like schedules, legal audits, fiscal and implementation notes, and more. Gbajabiamila emphasized that the reform aims to create a lawful, professional, and sustainable federal and state policing system that is closer to the people while preserving national security and rights.
He also clarified that the constitutional amendment already passed by the National Assembly must still obtain approval from state houses of assembly before becoming operational.
