The permanent secretary said the objectives of the gathering include providing a platform for experience sharing, brain-storming and learning lessons on issues affecting the well-being of PWDs.

He said, “Over the years, the ministry has continually trained visually impaired adults at the Nigeria Farm craft Centre for the Blind.

“55 of them graduated in 2021/2022 Session and 47 of them are currently enrolled for 2022/2023 Session. We regularly provide Assistive Devices and empowerment tools to PWDs.
