The group further called for the appointment of someone like Adenike Tejuosho as minister for humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation.
The national president of JONAPWD, Abdullahi Usman gave the advice at a world press conference held in Abuja, Saturday.

He said that the minister must have leading efforts aimed at alleviating poverty and addressing the needs of vulnerable populations across the country.
Usman emphasized that the community request is unprecedented, underscoring the critical importance of having a leader who understands and prioritizes the challenges faced by PWDs and marginalized groups.
