President Bola Tinubu has declined assent to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Amendment Bill, 2025, recently passed by the National Assembly.
Recall that the bill proposed granting the NDLEA the power to keep a portion of the proceeds from drug-related crimes in variance to the current legal framework.
The President’s rejection was communicated to the House of Representatives as read during plenary on Thursday by the Speaker, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas.
