A coalition of People With Disabilities (PWD) has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho to take charge of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation as Minister.
This was made known during the PWD National Stakeholders Press Conference in Abuja, chaired by Rt Hon. Dr Samuelson Emehibe on behalf of the National Coordinators of PWD National Stakeholders.
Emehibe commended President Tinubu for championing the cause of Nigeria, including the dissolution of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
“I hope this move will also be extended to other parastatals, Ministries and Government agencies Nationwide so that anyone who is not committed and determined to work for the nation will blot his or herself off from the system of government to enable the serious ones carry on the discharge of their duties diligently and adequately.
“Once you are called to serve, you are expected to add value in your field of endeavors so the country’s economy will improve and advance to another level as well as to ensure the betterment of the poor masses.
“In the aspect of the persons with Disabilities, we are very happy because we have suffered a lot in the past decades. We need a person of credible character, we need a reliable person who will champion the cause of the less privileged, the widows, the orphans and the entire Special Citizens in the Nation. There is a need to ensure that things are going well for persons with Disabilities in Nigeria.
“We need a person who can revive our National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, we need a person who will make sure things get to the grassroots for persons with disabilities. I strongly believe that person is Dr. Adenike Halimat Tejuosho.
“Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho has displayed and exhibited a high level of unquantifiable value, immense contributions and attributes to humanity which has made her worthy to be recommended as the most qualified personality for the position of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“She has selflessly labelled her name in the Life book of records as one of the most influential and exceptional philanthropist as well as a renowned humanitarian activist who prioritizes the affairs of her fellow human being at all times.
“Dr Adenike Tejuosho is one of them. Her unwavering support and selfless services to humanity especially the less privileged in the society is second to none. In the past decades, this woman has provided home to the homeless as well as supported a lot of poor and downtrodden individuals in both studies and in so many aspects of life; what more can i say.
“We have benefited immensely from her bank of wisdom and wealth of experience. We sincerely recommend Mr. President to kindly appoint Dr Tejuosho to work with him as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. She is most competent for the position. Her result oriented nature, her positive minded mindset as well as her love for humanity including many other virtues she portrays will yield a lot not just for the less privileged but the Nation at large.”
