Janet Ogundepo captures the challenges of persons living with disabilities despite the disability rights law
The journey through university was not smooth for her as she had to sometimes sit in lectures without gaining anything when a sign language interpreter either didn’t come on time or failed to come. Helen Alonge sat in her wheelchair waiting for an attendant to ‘lift her’ to the first floor of a state Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture where she works. The office, previously located on the ground floor of the ministry’s building, was recently relocated to the first floor without consideration to Alonge, a member of staff of the ministry.
Ehkpomagbe said on an occasion where she went to the administrative department of her school to collect a transcript, she met with an unfriendly official who didn’t attend to her despite knowing her disability status.
