NDE pledges to give disabled persons priority

The National Directorate of Employment has promised that for whatever form of training it is going to organise, it will do something specifically for people living with disability.

NDE Director-General, Dr Mohammed Nasir Ladan Argungu, made the promise in Abuja on Thursday when the Albino Foundation paid him an advocacy visit.

“20 million albinos and persons living with disability is quite large. We’re talking of ten person of the total population,” he said.

He assured that persons with disabilities and albinos would get five percent inclusion in NDE’s training programmes.
