Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, made this assurance during a meeting with the leadership of the Joint National Association of Persons with Disability.

He cited Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s compassionate leadership as a driving force behind the government’s commitment to supporting PWDs. The Chairman of the Joint National Association of Persons with Disability, Muhammad Musa Shaga, expressed optimism in the current administration’s commitment to advancing the rights and inclusion of PWDs, and called for the establishment of a dedicated state Commission for Persons with Disabilities.
