“We recognise that the disability community is challenged by a plethora of barriers. These barriers were made worse due to unimaginable neglect of the community since the 1999 administrations,” he said.

Otti stated this at a roundtable dialogue organised by the Centre for Citizens With Disabilities (CCD), to celebrate the 2023 International Day of Persons With Disabilities in Umuahia, the state capital.

The occasion which is celebrated every December 3, has: “United in Action to Rescue and Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for, with, and by PWDs, ” as it’s theme.

Represented by his special assistant on PDWs, Mr David Anyaele, he charged the PWDs to take action by resisting all forms of discrimination against them by reason of their disability.
