Mustapha, while commending the National Assembly for a good job, explained that the Association has been clamouring for the passage of the Bill over two decades ago.

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

Mustapha said the Bill when becomes law will be a major achievement of the 9th National Assembly and President Buhari because it will help to legalise social work practice in the country through an act of parliament.

"Social Workers in Nigeria under the platform of NASoW of which i am the National President wish to salute and commend the National Assembly over the passage of Nigerian Council for Social Work Bill.

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."
