Senate President Saraki Passed the Conference Committee Report of the Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Bill.

"Today, 28 March 2018, we passed the Conference Committee Report of the Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Bill. 

"Many of you will recall that 30 days ago (on February 28th, 2018),

when the Kpakpando Foundation for People with Disabilities came to visit me at my Office, and I promised them that by the end of March, we would pass the Conference Committee Report of this Bill. 

Today, we did this — and it will now be sent to Mr. President for his assent. "As soon as this Bill becomes a law, it will provide social protection for persons with disabilities and safeguard the over 20 million Nigerian that live with disabilities from any discrimination that they may suffer from."
