It may sound outlandish that the visually impaired trains people in arts and crafts. That is the story of 58-year-old Madam Christiana Kehinde Akinrinmade, the proprietor of Chrisken Training Centres.

but its effects on individuals and families are still up-to-the-minute. Some survived the ordeal to tell their stories.

Any wonder that she takes to fright any time she learns about an impending national strike, especially by doctors. Her mind would be in flux. She would begin to imagine the pains some patients would be subjected to, having had such nasty experience that led to her loss of sight. “I was advised to go for eye surgery to save the right eye. I was booked for the surgery. Unfortunately, on getting to the hospital for the surgery on the appointed date, I discovered that the doctors were on strike,” she said.Determined not to be weighed down by her current situation, she decided to make the best out of a seemingly useless situation. Then, an idea flashed through her mind.

In a chat with our correspondent during the graduation ceremony of the students of the arts and crafts school, three of whom are also visually impaired; Madam Akinrinmade said “the training began during the COVID-19 lockdown. It has lasted up to four months now. One of my students was able to make a huge profit from the proceeds of his sales.”

Taking the reporter round the centre to intimate her with the workings of the centre, Mrs. Akinrinmade, with a boisterous ambience that is somewhat contagious, said. “We are all sighted.”in a special report, titled “Challenges Special Needs Children Face amid COVID-19”, expressed her surprise at how a visually impaired woman would be training her.

Examining the moral justification of doctors’ strike, Brecher in Researchgate suggested that “strike actions are only justifiable if it presents long-term benefits to the striking doctors and positive improvement to the health care industry. Yet this strike with a focus on personal and financial gains of doctors at the expense of treating patients seems difficult to justify on such grounds.”
