The National Commission for Persons with Disabilities has embarked on a training exercise to collate data of 50,000 Persons With Disabilities (PWD).
According to the Executive Secretary of the commission, James Lalu, the intervention is an empowerment programme to enable members of the disability community to have a means of livelihood following the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He stated that the exercise would collect data of 1,000 PWDs from each state across the federation and appealed to its officials to make the selection process free from interference.
