To this end, the group called on the federal and state governments to develop policies and support that allow its members to live peacefully in society without stigmatisation or exposure to ailment.

The group is also amplifying the provisions of the National Albinism Policy and calling for its implementation to make life more accessible for people with Albinism.

Speaking at the One-Day Interactive Session with some selected media organisations in Maryland, Lagos, the Lagos State chairman, AAN, Mr Tolani Ojuri, said the event was made possible through the generous support of the Disability Rights Fund (DRF), applauding the Fund for its unwavering commitment to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities, including those with albinism.

Stating that his group is dedicated to promoting the rights, welfare, and empowerment of individuals with albinism in Nigeria, he added, “We believe that by working together with the media, we can create a more inclusive and supportive society for all individuals with albinism; and may I at this point express our deepest gratitude for your interest in our organisation and the importance of the work we do.”

Urging stakeholders to build a united front to tackle misinformation, discrimination, and stigmatisation faced by persons with albinism in Nigeria, he believes the media will play a crucial role in raising awareness about albinism and promoting a more inclusive society.

Earlier, the president of the Albinism Association of Nigeria, who doubles as its executive director(ED), Mrs Bisi Bamishe, acknowledged the critical role of the media in shaping public perception and dispelling myths about albinism.

She emphasised the need for accurate reporting and sustained advocacy to improve the quality of life for people with albinism and that the National Albinism Policy represents a milestone in the organisation’s efforts to ensure that people with albinism in Nigeria are recognised, respected, and supported by society and the three tiers of government.
