He passionately appealed to the National Assembly to transmit the Bill to President Muhammadu Buhari for his assent.

The Bill seeks to establish the Nigerian Council for Social Work that would regulate social work practice in Nigeria and the Council’s activities will be regulated by a governing council that will be appointed by the Federal Government

The council, among other things, shall promote professional practice and uphold Social Work ethics and values."
