On Friday, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Nigeria Policy Academy and Animal Diseases Control Bills, both of which were recently passed by the National Assembly.
The president signed the two laws into law in the State House, as witnessed by Hon Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, according to a statement from Mr Garba Shehu, the president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity (House of Representatives).
The Animal Diseases (Control) bill repeals the Animal Diseases (Control) Act, Cap. A17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and replaces it with the Animal Diseases (Control) Act, which is intended to prevent, detect, control, and eradicate infectious and contagious transboundary and zoonotic animal diseases.
The Act would also prevent antimicrobial resistance by regulating and controlling the use and administration of veterinary biologics, veterinary medicinal goods and chemicals in animals, animal products, medicated animal feeds, pet food sales and distribution, and other veterinary products.
Additionally, it will improve animal welfare and food safety.
The new Nigeria Police Academy Act establishes and provides the legislative foundation for the Nigeria Police Academy in Wudil, Kano State, to deliver academic and professional training as a degree-awarding institution.
According to a statement from Shehu, the Academy would be led by a Commandant with at least the rank of Assistant Inspector-General of Police, who will be chosen by the Police Service Commission on the advice of the Inspector General of Police, as provided in Section 8 of the Act.
The Nigeria Law Reform Commission Act, 2022, the National Biotechnology Development Agency Act, 2022, the Harmonized Retirement Age for Teachers in Nigeria Act, 2022, and the Federal Medical Centre, Hong (Establishment) Act were also signed into law by the president.
