The Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill set up by President Bola Tinubu has extended the deadline for the submission of memoranda and position papers on the proposed legislation by eight days.
The submission of the proposed bill’s memo and position papers initially billed to close by 5pm on Thursday, August 13, 2026 will now end by Friday, August 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. West Africa Time (WAT).
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Chief of Staff to the President, who also doubles as Chairman of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, 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.
