The European Union Support to Democratic Governance in Nigeria programme, on Thursday, advisedPresident
“We are grateful that in the past, we’ve been appointed Special Advisers and some other Heads of Establishments, especially establishments for persons with disabilities. But we need to go a notch higher. Who says we can not be ministers?
“If you take us out of governance, then what you’re going to run is an exclusive government, and an exclusive government is not a government of national unity. If you truly want to run a government of national unity, then that government should be inclusive of all, irrespective of their gender, irrespective of their status, irrespective of their religion. Whatever needs to be done so that everyone will sit on the table is the way forward,” he added.
“Service is not written on anybody’s face. Give everybody that is qualified the chance to serve. Don’t give us a minister because we’re persons with disabilities. Give us a minister because we have the ability to run that office, make a difference, and be part of nation building,” the TAF Africa boss insisted.
