He lauded Gov. Chukwuma Soludo for all his assistance to the Disability Rights Commission in the State, especially his recent equipping of the Commission with cutting edge digital tools to revolutionalize the Commission's advocacy and support for persons with disabilities.


The lawmaker urged persons with disabilities to live above all forms of discrimination and stigmatization, and strive to improve their living conditions.


He enjoined public and private organizations to integrate PWDs in their schemes and provide an enabling environment for them to enable them to showcase their talents and also coexist harmoniously among their able-bodied counterparts.
