The Joint National Association Of Persons With Disabilities, Lagos State Chapter, has accused the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, of neglect.
“When Akinwunmi Ambode came in, one major thing he added to it was the disability fund and of course the setting up of the board of the disability office in accordance with the law.
“Currently, it is not in existence and that is why a lot of ministries do not know what to do. And when they are planning their programmes, they do not know how to mainstream disabilities into it. He also appealed to the state government to pay more attention to the 49 inclusive schools in the state and equip them with teachers and other learning aids that would help the children to learn.
