A Civil Society Organisation, Nigerian Mental Health, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to assent the Mental Health Bill recently submitted to his office by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Olatunde Ojo.
The group, in a statement Wednesday, said the bill was finally passed by the National Assembly on after two failed attempts since 2003.
“Mental health regulatory reforms have languished in Nigeria’s legislative chambers for almost two decades, with failed attempts at overhaul in 2003 and 2013.
