President Tinubu to Receive Draft National Policing Bill on September 3

President Bola Tinubu is expected to receive the draft National Policing Bill on September 3 as part of efforts by the Federal Government to reform and strengthen Nigeria’s policing system.

The President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this on Monday after a meeting of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill at the State House in Abuja.

Gbajabiamila said the Federal Government would embark on nationwide consultations on the draft bill before the final version is presented to President Tinubu for approval and subsequent transmission to the National Assembly.

He explained that the seven-week reform programme, which began on July 27, involves legal drafting, policy research, data analysis and implementation planning aimed at developing a more effective policing framework.

The Chief of Staff added that the initiative is designed to improve security, accountability and operational efficiency in Nigeria’s policing system through broad stakeholder engagement and strategic reforms.
