 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

 Benue PWDs Express Concerns Over Inaccessibility of Public Buildings


Persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Benue State have raised concerns about their inability to access public buildings, citing that these structures are not built in compliance with laws designed to accommodate their needs.


Jacinta Ighoito, Chairperson of the Albinism Association of Nigeria (ASN), made the disclosure in Makurdi over the weekend. She explained that during advocacy visits to public buildings such as the state secretariat and the House of Assembly, PWDs often struggle to gain access due to the lack of disability-friendly infrastructure.


Ighoito also highlighted the absence of a five percent employment quota for PWDs in the state, noting that these challenges persist because there are no state laws criminalizing such neglect.


In response, the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aondona Dajoh, assured that the assembly would prioritize the passage of the Disability Bill once the revised draft is submitted for consideration. Represented by Deputy Clerk Mr. David Ochapa, Dajoh expressed hope that the executive's commitment to the bill would bring significant improvements for PWDs in the state. This statement was made during a roundtable discussion on the legislative process for the Disability Bill, organized by the Inclusive Friends Association (IFA) in Makurdi.
