Reps decry poor funding of Senior Citizens Centre
Bashiru Dauda, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Disabilities Matters, has decried the inadequate funding of the National Senior Citizens Centre (NSCC).
Dauda said the development was hindering the agency from carrying out its responsibilities.
He said this in Abuja on Thursday at an event organised to celebrate Nigeria’s older persons and the important role they play in the society.
He said that part of the responsibility of NSCC was to take care of the country’s senior citizens.
The chairman said older person’s Bill before the House had passed through the first reading, adding that it spells out all privileges, welfare and other things important to older persons.
“The bill spells out issues on discrimination of the older person’s, security of their income, old age benefit and dementia issue which sometimes the aged pass through,” he said.
Similarly, Dr Salmat-Ibrahim Anas, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Health, said many older persons face with disability challenges.
Anas said Tinubu was not relenting on caring for people with disabilities, adding that the older people were it.
He urged the NSCC goodwill ambassadors unveiled at the venue after their inauguration on Oct. 2, to live up to the responsibilities.
