I feel good to be at the helm of this all-important bill, together with my dear brother and senior colleague, Senator Eze Ajoku.

My utmost prayer is that this bill will be considered a law in the shortest time possible, and our senior citizens will live better and longer by it.

on the floor of the Green Chambers of the 10th Assembly.

The thought of this bill has been overwhelming in my mind. Now, I'm grateful to God that it has scaled through 2nd reading.

I thank my leader, the speaker of the 10th House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abass and

[CosropinA @a_cosropin]

my esteemed colleagues for unanimously accepting and passing this bill for the 2nd time.

The Older Persons Bill is a bill of hope and long life. Amongst many other benefits, this bill when passed into law, will:

* Prohibit discrimination against our senior citizens.
* Instill

the rights and privileges of older persons in our national policy.
* Provide ease of access to physical infrastructures to our senior citizens.
* Provide housing.
* Provide rebate.
* Provide rights to first consideration in queues and in emergencies.

These are beautiful pictures of what Lagos looks like before independence and immediately after independence.

Lagos is the largest city of the west-African Country of Nigeria in terms of population with about 15.3million people. It is also the 4th largest economy in Africa.

Let's honor our elders. They've paved the way for us and deserve our respect, care, and love.

Together, let's create a society where age is a badge of honor. #RespectYourElders #COSROPIN

I don't need a gym membership. I climb stairs, attend GRAF sessions, carry groceries, and argue with relatives. That's my cardio. 😂💪 #ElderWisdom #FunnyButTrue #stayactivestayfit #cosropin
