He made the call during an event organized by Data-Lead Africa to commemorate International Day for Persons with Disabilities 2024.

The founder urged the government to take deliberate steps toward building a society that works for all, especially for persons with disabilities.

Dr. Ayoola emphasized the urgent need for inclusion at all levels of society, noting that “as a society and a nation, we cannot continue to play the ostrich when it comes to disability inclusion.

“Persons with disabilities are here, they are part of the society, and they deserve to be actively included in every plan and opportunity.”

He stressed that achieving true inclusion requires moving beyond token gestures like social stipends and focusing on systemic changes.

“It is not enough to provide temporary relief; we must design systems that build the capacity of persons with disabilities, create opportunities for meaningful work, and allow them to contribute and thrive,” Dr. Ayoola stated.

Highlighting the humanitarian principle of ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’, Dr. Ayoola urged the government to work with the disability community in shaping policies, designing accessible education systems, and ensuring equitable access to economic opportunities. He underscored that inclusion is not just about addressing current barriers but also about laying the groundwork for future generations.Dr. Ayoola further remarked.

“Planning for persons with disabilities must be intentional and systematic, covering all aspects of life—from education to employment to leadership. Together, we can build a nation where everyone belongs and contributes meaningfully to our shared progress.”

Deaf-in-Tech, an initiative focused on empowering Deaf individuals to thrive in the tech sector, has consistently championed the need for inclusion.

This year’s International Day for Persons with Disabilities theme, “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future,” reflects the organization’s commitment to creating opportunities for persons with disabilities to lead and innovate.

 

The event concluded with a rally where participants held placards that read: “We’re Deaf, We’re Here, We’re Part of the Society. Please plan for us, and plan with us.” Dr. Ayoola called on all stakeholders—government, private sector, and civil society—to collaborate in creating a more inclusive society where no one is left behind.
