The presidential accent to the Mental Health Law by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday has continued to generate positive responses from Nigerians.
In his words, “Due to the negative perception attached to mental health issues in Nigeria, the society still sees any case related to it as that of lunacy. “With this law, it is hoped that the prejudices and stigma attached to mental health issues will be laid to rest.” “Many of the so-called lunatics we encounter daily are not victims of spiritual attacks so to say. They are in that position as a result of lifestyle.
“With this law, such victims of mental health breakdown would be confined to mental institutions and families with such will be compelled to release their people with mental health challenges for proper treatment and counselling.” He also revealed that the bill was necessitated by the enduring quest to make provisions for the enhancement and regulation of mental health and substance abuse services.
We have so many accent to Laws that are still not functional on ground only in prints. Make una leave matter. Nigeria is messed up by these thieves who find themselves in power because of the Youths that keep defending their ignorance
