President Bola Tinubu has declined to sign the National Drug

 President Bola Tinubu has declined to sign the National Dr*ug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Bill, 2025, into law.

The President refused to sign the bill because :

The NDLEA Amendment Bill, 2025, aimed to allow Nigeria's anti-drug agency to retain part of seized dr*ug crim£ proceeds to fund operations, reducing reliance on government budgets. President Tinubu rejected it on June 26, 2025, citing conflicts with Section 58(4) of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates all proceeds go to a centralized account with oversight from the president and National Assembly. The rejection was due to concerns over transparency and potential mismanagement, as the bill bypassed established legal protocols. Supporters argue it could boost NDLEA efficiency, while critics highlight risks of corruption and constitutional violations.
