FCCPC vows to protect rights of PWDs, Nigerians
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council has promised to do all within its powers to ensure the rights and inclusiveness of all Nigerians.
The council’s Deputy Director of Consumer and Business Education, Nwafor Anthony,
stated this Monday in Abuja while speaking at a policy roundtable on financial inclusion for Persons with Disabilities, organised by the Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation.
Nwafor also applauded the efforts of CADEF in ensuring the rights and inclusiveness of all Nigerians and pledged the council’s support for the foundation.
He said, “The council is already engaging in several campaigns aimed at drawing the need to ensure inclusivity and also provide an adequate environment for persons with special needs to access all sorts of services without any form of discrimination. We will continue to fight for Nigerians’ rights to be respected.”
CADEF Executive Director Professor, Chiso Ndukwe-Okafor, stressed the need to urgently address the challenges faced by Persons with Disabilities in accessing digital financial services.
She said the meeting was organised so that stakeholders could brainstorm to come up with ideas to address the challenges faces by PWDs, which were both online and off line.
