The Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill has extended the deadline for the submission of memoranda and position papers on the proposed legislation to 5pm, Friday, August 21, 2026.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff to the president, and chairman, Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill, revealed this on Thursday.
The Group had earlier fixed August 13 as deadline for the submission of memoranda and contributions to the National Policing Bill.
But Gbajabiamila, on Thursday, said the “extension is intended to provide stakeholders with additional time for thorough preparation and ensure that interested individuals, institutions and organisations have adequate opportunity to make well-considered contributions to the proposed legislation.”
He stated that the Presidential Working Group is committed to ensuring that the process of developing the National Policing Bill benefits from broad consultation and the informed perspectives of Nigerians and relevant stakeholders.
