President Bola Tinubu has officially declined to sign the National Assembly Library Trust Fund (Establishment) Amendment Bill 2025 into law, citing several constitutional and policy concerns that, if left unaddressed, could undermine existing government frameworks and set what he described as an “unsustainable precedent.”

In a formal communication addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, read during plenary by the speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, yesterday, Tinubu acknowledged the noble intentions behind the proposed amendment but highlighted  problematic areas, including the funding structure for agencies under the National Assembly, taxation of national entities, matters relating to public service remuneration, as well as stipulations around age and years of service.
