Tinubu Withholds Assent on Two Key Bills Over Legal Concerns

President Bola Tinubu has declined to sign the Raw Materials Research and Development Council Amendment Bill and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management Establishment Bill, citing specific legal issues. He communicated the decision to the National Assembly in two separate letters read during Thursday’s plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The letters outlined clause-by-clause concerns and invited lawmakers to revise the bills before resubmission. Both measures were referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Business, which has been tasked with reviewing the legislation and reporting back within four weeks.
