This followed a motion sponsored by Sen. Theodore Orji (PDP-Abia) and 15 others on the rising incidence of suicides among Nigerians.
Orji, while making his presentation noted with grave concern, the rising cases of suicide ,particularly among young Nigerians.
He said suicide could be prevented particularly when family, friends and close relatives of the person contemplating suicide provided support, either by way of encouragement, listening to them or removing means of committing suicide such as dangerous drugs and chemicals especially sniper.
He also said that it is worrisome that the number of Nigerians taking their lives had assumed a frightening dimension , saying that government, religious institutions and other relevant corporate bodies have not addressed the ugly situation in the country.
Orji said that there is need to create awareness on how to control stress and depression by government, religious institutions and other relevant corporate bodies and the establishment of trauma centres across the federation.
This, he said would also reduce the rate of suicide in the country.
