In the letter, which was dated July 30, 2025, Tinubu explained his decision not to sign the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology (Establishment) Bill, 2025, into law, adding that there are several clauses in the bill that contradict the extant laws and pose a threat of financial abuse if the laws are passed.
