The adviser on special education and social inclusion, Princess Adetoun Agboola, disclosed this in a press statement yesterday.

Agboola said under the leadership of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, several initiatives have been introduced to promote inclusivity and accessibility, garnering both praise and calls for further action.

The adviser also highlighted the government’s comprehensive approach, saying key achievements include the implementation of the Disability Law and the introduction of Ekiti Kete Online Sign Language lessons for civil servants and political officeholders.

“The government has also mandated ramps in all new public buildings and is retrofitting old ones to improve accessibility.

“Employment opportunities for PWDs have been enhanced by enforcing the five percent employment law. This ensures qualified PWDs are given equal opportunities. Additionally, the state has provided free medical access to PWDs in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, a critical step applauded by the community for its life-saving impact.

“The government has introduced technology in special schools, including laptops, desktops, and interactive wowbii boards. They have also employed vocational teachers and therapists and provided fully equipped vocational centres for skills like sewing, hairdressing, and soap making. These measures aim to improve both learning and quality of life for students with disabilities.

“Three special schools have been established: Government Special School for the Deaf, Ikoro Ekiti; Government Special School for the Blind, Ikere Ekiti; and Government Special School for the Physically Challenged and Intellectual Disability, Ido Ekiti. Each school features a multi-sensory adapted classroom and therapy room, a first in Nigeria for public schools,” the statement added.
