The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Disability, Hon. Bashiru Dawodu has pledged the commitment panel to the full enforcement of Persons with Disability Act.

Dawodu also has said efforts are ongoing to re-enact the Act as there is a huge lacuna in it that amendments alone will not address all the challenges.

The lawmaker said this at a media parley in Abuja, focusing on Persons with Disabilities and the Disability Act 2018.

He said the Committee interacts with the conditions of PWD and that inputs of stakeholders will be collated at the public hearing for the amendment.

Dawodu also said the Child’s Right Act needs to be amended to include the concerns raised by the PWD community.

The lawmaker however, reinstated the commitment of his committee to pushing for laws that promote the rights of persons with disabilities across the country.
