Mrs Patience Dickson, the National Coordinator, Advocacy for Women With Disabilities Initiative (AWWDI), an NGO, on Monday, urged the National Assembly to pass the National Disability Bill.
Dickson made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
She said that the bill, if passed and assented to by the president, would alleviate the sufferings of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
She added that “when the bill is signed into law, it will eradicate discrimination, increase access to education and healthcare services, transportation, justice, physical structures and information, employment, housing, credit and many others.’’
