Tinubu seeks Senate nod to replace ASCON with National School of Government

President Bola Tinubu has requested the Senate approve a bill to replace the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act with the establishment of the National School of Government. This legislation aims to enhance leadership development and improve public officials' ability to implement government policies effectively. The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, read Tinubu's letter during plenary on Wednesday, urging lawmakers to give the bill "expeditious consideration" as it aligns with Section 58(2) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, as amended.
