0 188

Persons With Disabilities are calling on the Federal Government for a more inclusion in the public sector in order to contribute their quota to national growth and development. The Executive Secretary, National Commission of Persons With Disabilities, James David-Lalu, who made the call at a news conference in Abuja in commemoration of the one year anniversary of the commission said PWDs are not giving their rights regards to employment which is 5% as provided by section 28 & 29 of the Prohibition Acts. He said despite the provision of the Act, PWDs face serious discrimination especially at work place noting that the commission is partnering with the Nigerian Police and other security agency to check every form of discriminations against them. Mr Lalu also took out time to highlight achievements the commission has recorded since its inception one year ago. He however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his foresight in establishing the commission.
