Story details
Nigeria’s House of Representatives has passed a bill to amend the National Assembly Service Pension Board Act at third reading, according to a National Assembly Library Trust Fund report published on 23 October. The measure concerns retirement administration for National Assembly Service personnel.
The bill, HB 2240, is sponsored by House Leader Julius Ihonvbere. Its title provides for changes to the membership of the pension board, a template for gratuity payments and establishment of a fund for the scheme. The library’s account describes improved accountability and protection against funding shortfalls as intended outcomes.
Third-reading passage in the House is a legislative step. The announcement does not establish completion of all requirements for enactment, a commencement date, a contribution rate or a quantified funding commitment. Staff should not infer from this report that new pension amounts have already been approved for payment.
The source’s opening sentence says “Thursday, October 20, 2026”, combining a weekday and calendar date that do not match. This article therefore reports the House passage as announced, without assigning it a precise sitting day. The event is recorded for October 2026, separately from the source’s 23 October publication date.
