President Bola Tinubu has signed into law the South-West Development Commission Bill, the South-South Development Commission Bill, and the Nigeria Anti-Doping Bill, 2025.

Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Basheer Lado, announced this in a statement, describing the legislations as a reflection of Tinubu’s commitment to inclusive governance, equitable progress, and Nigeria’s emergence as a global powerhouse.

“By signing into law the establishment of the South-West and South-South Development Commissions, President Tinubu has reaffirmed his role as a transformational leader who prioritizes regional empowerment, economic expansion, and infrastructural excellence.

“Building on the foundation of his earlier assent to the South-East and North-Central Development Commissions, it is evident that President Tinubu is deliberate in bringing development across all regions,” he said.

Lado stated that the commissions would serve as catalysts for industrial growth, job creation, and social advancement, ensuring that every part of Nigeria benefits from Tinubu’s progressive vision.

He added that the Nigeria Anti-Doping Bill, 2025, reinforces the country’s commitment to fairness, excellence, and integrity in global sports.

“By domesticating the UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sports, his administration has safeguarded the future of Nigerian sports, protecting our athletes from unfair practices while reinforcing our global reputation as a country that upholds integrity,” Lado said.
