The Executive Director, Goodness Fredrick Foundation, Goodness Fredrick has appeal to government and individuals to include people living with disability in decision making for the betterment of the society.
She made the appeal in an interview with newsmen at the Physical Challenge Person workshop, after the road-walk rally organized by the foundation on Friday for people living disability to commemorate World Disability Day.
Mrs Fredrick explained that people living with disability have a critical role to play in nation building, hence the need for government at all levels to ensure inclusiveness in all sectors for them to have a sense of belonging.
She stated that the road-walk rally is to sensitize communities on the challenges faced by people living with disability to include discrimination, marginalization and stigmatization and the need to support people living with disability around them.
At the end of the road-walk rally, medical outreach was conducted by the Foundation at the Physical challenge person workshop, Yola.
