Speaking, the state Chairman, Joint National Association for Persons With Disabilities, Dr Ishiyaku Adamu, said over the years members of JONAPWD, have suffered following the inability of the State Government to domesticate the National Disability Bill.
Our correspondent reports that the meeting was organised by the Coalition of the Advocacy for Disability Act Cluster, Inclusive Friends Association, through the Strengthening Civic Advocacy and Local Engagements, implemented by Palladium and funded by USAID. He said, “Persons With Disabilities over the years have been neglected and they lack opportunities in almost all aspects of life. Today, we have come with stakeholders to talk about how Gombe State Government can support and sign the Gombe State Disability Bill, which has been done in 14 states so far across the country.
