NATIONAL: FG inaugurates governing council for disabilities commission

THE Federal Government has inaugurated the governing council of the National Commission For Persons With Disabilities.

According to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, who inaugurated the council in Abuja today, the commission was established to bring the years of exclusion of persons with disabilities to an end.

Speaking during the inauguration, Farouq cited alleviating the sufferings of persons with disabilities including seeing to their education, general wellbeing, employment and economic development as reasons for the establishment of the commission.

The minister charged the seven-man governing council to carry out their duties diligently and adhere strictly to their terms of reference.

She said, “You were carefully selected on the recommendations of highly placed Nigerians.”

There have been agitations from people with disabilities in the country about the manner they are treated by people in power.

Last Thursday scores of physically challenged persons from the Niger Delta region went  on the rampage at the National Assembly.

They besieged the National Assembly Complex to protest what they termed neglect by their representatives in the National Assembly.
