The Presidency has extended the deadline for submissions on the proposed policing bill by eight days, giving individuals and institutions more time to contribute.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, announced this on Thursday, stating that the extension is to ensure broad participation in shaping the legislation.
The bill, which seeks to reform Nigeria’s policing architecture, has generated widespread interest and debate.
Stakeholders, including civil society groups and security experts, have been invited to submit their inputs.
The new deadline is expected to allow for more comprehensive feedback, which will be considered in finalizing the bill.
This move is part of broader efforts to address security challenges in the country.
