    President Bola Tinubu has declined assent to a bill that aimed to increase the tenure and retirement age of legislative officers at the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly.

    The President’s decision was revealed in a letter read on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

    The controversial retirement age bill, which had been put on hold in February 2024 for further examination and consultations with stakeholders due to significant opposition from senators, suffered another setback.

    The President’s letter reads: “Upon thorough examination and careful consideration, I have decided to withhold my assent to the bill.

    “This decision is made by the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    “I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the diligent work of the Senate with regard to the drafting and passage of this Bill.

    “I hope you will receive it with understanding. Please accept the assurances of my highest regard.”
