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

The Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

The Senate had passed the Anti-Doping Bill, transmitted by President Tinubu in May 2024. The legislation aims to regulate the use of performance-enhancing substances in sports within Nigeria.

Senator Lado said the signing of the bills into law is a reflection of President Tinubu’s commitment to inclusive governance, equitable progress, and Nigeria’s emergence as “a global powerhouse.”

He said, “His Excellency has once again demonstrated that leadership is not merely about policies, it is about impact, legacy, and a deep-rooted dedication to uplifting every citizen.

“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 prioritises regional empowerment, economic expansion, and infrastructural excellence.

“These commissions will serve as catalysts for industrial growth, job creation, and social advancement-ensuring that every corner of Nigeria benefits from his administration’s progressive vision.”

“In the same vein, the Nigeria Anti-Doping Bill, 2025 is yet another bold step that solidifies Nigeria’s commitment to fairness, excellence and integrity in global sports.”
