The Nigeria Police say they are working to meet the five per cent employment reservation for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in accordance with the provisions of the National Disability Law.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali-Baba, said this on Thursday in Abuja at the ongoing 3-Day Disability Stakeholders Forum organised by the Centre for Citizens with Disabilities .
“There is a standing instruction in every command that the police act swiftly to the contacts from the disability community, especially with regards to complaints. “Like the blind, the physically challenged, however, there are many people with disabilities and the force is working to fully implement and execute the five per cent empowerment reservation for PWDs,’’ he said.
“All these things are done to ensure that PWDs don’t have problems in accessing or making movements around and within the airports,’’ she said.
