Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District, has commended the Zamarr Institute for its outstanding commitment and impact in advancing care and awareness for individuals on the autism spectrum.
The commendation came during a recent meeting with a delegation from the institute, led by its Chief Executive Officer, Oluronke Katagum.
The visit highlighted ongoing efforts by the organisation and explored opportunities for collaboration and legislative support.
According to our correspondent, discussions at the meeting centred on the institute’s upcoming fundraising dinner, which aims to expand access to essential services and sustain critical programs tailored to children with special needs.
The initiative reflects Zamarr Institute’s broader mission to bridge gaps in autism care and support across Nigeria.
Senator Dafinone noted that the institute has played a pivotal role in raising awareness about autism, while also delivering specialised care and promoting inclusive opportunities for affected individuals.
He emphasised that such efforts are vital in building a more compassionate and equitable society.
“I am deeply impressed by their commitment and the impact of their work,” the senator stated, underscoring the importance of recognizing and supporting organisations that champion vulnerable groups.
He further stressed that legislative and institutional backing remains essential to strengthening initiatives like those of Zamarr Institute, noting that sustained support would enable greater reach and long-term impact.
Reaffirming his stance on inclusivity, Senator Dafinone concluded with a powerful message: “Every child deserves a shot at living their best life,” calling for collective action to ensure that children on the autism spectrum receive the care, opportunities, and dignity they deserve.
