A statement made available to newsmen signed by a Yoga and wellness enthusiast, Shedrack Light yesterday in Abuja, said that the Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation is poised to help autistic children through music.

 

Light said that the party’s move to include children with autism in its national convention was a total reflection of its policy on inclusiveness.

He said, “The inclusion of the foundation to perform in PDP’s convention has been seen in many quarters as a reflection of the party’s understanding of the principle of inclusiveness.

 

“This move reflects to a large extent this year’s world autism theme which borders on inclusiveness.”

 

Prior to this year’s convention, he said the common experience was that only top musical stars and trending entertainers were invited to perform at party conventions and other political rallies.

 

“The big names in the entertainment industries were usually invited to stir a spark of excitement and entertainment. Little or no consideration has ever been given to people with disabilities or special needs. PDP has thus scored itself a big point through this singular invitation,” he said.

 

He also lauded the organising committee of the party that deemed it fit to ensure that the voices of autistic children in Nigeria are heard through Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation.

 

He said the Foundation has become one of the strongest emerging voices speaking for autistic children in Nigeria and Africa through the instrumentality of music.

 

“The band named after an autistic child was born after an extensive research, engagement and close observation, when it was realized that of all other arts, music appeals to Ferdinand,” he said.

 

According to him, Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation is named after a young autistic child – Ferdinand Effah who found music as a better way of expressing himself.

 

“As Ferdinand’s father, Stanley Effah would say, “Ferdinand communicates better through music. Music appeals to him so much. It calms him. It seems his better way of relating with everyone.”

 

He said through the activities of the foundation, music has been identified as an effective therapy in managing autism.

 

“A new narrative is emerging that brings hope to homes and families with autistic children, all thanks to the foundation,” he added.
