NCPWD Spearheads Inclusive Initiatives for Persons with Disabilities

The National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) orchestrated groundbreaking initiatives today, aimed at promoting inclusivity and addressing accessibility challenges.

In a crucial meeting with Nipost’s Postmaster General, Tola Odeyemi, the NCPWD focused on enhancing access to disability certificates and assistive devices nationwide. They proposed a collaborative partnership to streamline the delivery of these resources directly to individuals with disabilities, transcending existing barriers and ensuring equitable access for all.

Discussions also tackled the distribution hurdles of assistive devices, with emphasis on extending support networks to rural areas. This underscores the NCPWD’s commitment to leaving no one behind.

Simultaneously, a strategic assembly with the World Bank and Kenyan counterparts charted ambitious objectives for future collaboration, highlighting the commission’s global reach.

A pivotal meeting with the Honorable Minister of Information, H.E. Idris Muhammed, saw the activation of the ministry’s role in promoting disability awareness. The establishment of a National Steering Committee signifies a significant step towards promoting the Disability Act across all 36 states.

In summary, today’s engagements epitomize the NCPWD’s unwavering dedication to advancing disability rights and fostering inclusivity. As they pave the way for a brighter future, their actions serve as a beacon of hope for persons with disabilities worldwide, promoting a society where everyone is valued and empowered to thrive.
