Commending the government for giving them visibility on their special day, Agbo warned that no serious government or politician neglects the huge population of the disabled persons and succeeds, “we are strong, powerful and ready to contribute to sustainable development.

“However, l use this opportunity to call on the federal, state, LGA, to guarantee equal rights that would ensure equality of opportunity; accessibility; equality between men and women; respect for the evolving capacities of children with disabilities and respect for the right of children with disabilities to preserve their identities,” he said.

He said the United Nations (UN) through resolution 47/3 of 1992, aimed to promote the rights, development, well-being, and inclusion of PWDs in all spheres of society including political, social, economic and cultural life.
