President Bola Tinubu has transmitted a series of requests and legislative proposals to the Senate for consideration as lawmakers resumed plenary.
The communications, which cover appointments to key federal institutions, legislative amendments and funding proposals, were presented to the Senate as part of the Federal Government’s ongoing administrative and legislative activities.
Among the requests is President Tinubu’s nomination of Abdullahi Maikano for confirmation as Chairman of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission, alongside six other nominees proposed as members of the commission’s board.
The President also sought the Senate’s confirmation of Sani Ndanusa as a Non-Career Ambassador.
In another communication, Tinubu requested the confirmation of Wakil Bukar as a member of the Federal Civil Service Commission.
Beyond appointments, the Federal Government transmitted the National Postgraduate Medical College Amendment Bill, 2026, to the Senate for consideration.
The proposed amendment is expected to expand the mandate of the National Postgraduate Medical College.
The government also forwarded a proposal seeking the establishment of a National Research Development Fund, requesting the Senate’s approval for the initiative.
Additionally, the Federal Government submitted the 2026 statutory budget proposal of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to the Senate for consideration and approval.
The latest requests place several appointments, legislative proposals and funding matters before the Senate as it begins consideration of government business following its resumption of plenary.
