South-South Women with Disabilities has hailed Dr. Adenike Tejuosho for her humanitarian works, noting that she is the most qualified for the position of minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation.
The chairperson of the association, Mrs Ada Tari, who stated this in Yenagoa, Bayelsa, appealed to President Bola Tinubu, to consider Dr. Adenike Tejuosho for the ministerial position.
Tari said: “As we are all aware, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has been vacant, following the suspension of the minister.
“It is on this point that South-South Women with Disabilities Association is recommending and passionately appealing to the President to appoint one of our mothers, to fill in the vacuum.
“The association has its members across Niger Delta Region, which comprises all the disability clusters of physically challenged, blind, deaf, people affected by leprosy, the spinal cord injury and albinism.”
She added: “We have gathered here today in Yenagoa, to appreciate and congratulate President Tinubu on successful one year in office, including his progressive policies of the renewed hope agenda.
“As women with disabilities, we also want to use this opportunity to thank our caring mother of the nation, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen. Remi Tinubu, for her firm support to Mr President.
“We also thank her for the agricultural support she recently extended to women and youths, as well as People With Disabilities across the country”.
Tari noted that people with disabilities are the most vulnerable members of the society and the vacuum in the ministry of humanitarian and poverty alleviation is affecting them negatively.
