 Thanks for staying with us. Now, 60-year-old Pacelli School for the Blind is seeking the intervention of the government and well-meaning Nigeria's to be able to continue with its free education program for the visually impaired to enable the students to develop their skills, improve their educational status, and gain independence, especially in reading and writing and a view to assist them to get a sound education. Clause TV Africa visited the school in Suluriri area of Lagos to interact with the world of the visually challenged, yet intelligent children. Life for the visually impaired is better imagined than experienced, as it takes a lot to live in this class of disability conveniently. Most touching is hearing that some of them were not born this way. I know that that day I wanted to do my exam. How? At 9 years old. So I was not feeling headache from that place, Shia. I cannot see again. When I was two years old, one morning I woke up so I just stopped to go to school, I was in KG1. So that morning I don't know, I just went to lie down in my bed after I'm done with dressing up. I was having katankov. Then my mother went to the health center to ask for drugs, to buy drugs for my katankov. And they gave me septrine. So the first day I first took the septrine, I was having itch rashes on my body. Like not actually itch rashes, just some rashes. So the next day, my mother went there again and they gave her another antibiotic. The next day, that same day, I now started having blisters on my body then. That's how I started. And the thing went all over my body and all my skin was burnt. Pachele school for the blind and partially sighted an initiative of the then Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Leo Halle, was officially opened on the 16th of June, 1962 and named after the then-serving pope, Pai was the seven Reginio Pachele. Learning without their sight is obviously a challenge. The challenges we face is just like, there's some kind of things you can do on the computer. Live programming is hard for visually impaired to learn programming on computer. For the same to enter my head sometimes, I mean, I don't understand. I have to ask the teacher to recap again. But I didn't share. I used to get it, but it's not easy. Teaching visually impaired is not like teaching the normal child. The normal child, as you are teaching, they can see what you are talking about. But for the visually impaired, they cannot, some have never ever seen anything before. So you just have to, as much as possible, bring home what you are talking about to the child. Moments in the classroom and labs are unique as they express themselves. We captured this scenario of a deaf and dumb father in a conversation with his visually impaired daughter. It's a torturing moment as we speak with him. He said he wants scholarship for me, just to finish my school. I want to go to Queen's College. Jen, on January, is the principal of the school. She has a simple message to the government and well-meaning individuals. The government was in charge of this school before. Eventually, the Catholic Church took over their school. And we pleaded with them to give us annual convention. They refused. And some government governors, when they come, they can assist us as they can, like Amber, they gave us a coaster bus. And the big money was budgeted for the physically challenged people in Lagos Street. But that was our own share. So the only time they give us, if there is a celebration, we write that we need something they give us. They are yet to step up to assist these children that are in Pachelis School, that do not pay any form of tuition. So we are appealing to government, decide their own children that the Catholic Church has decided to assist. They need to also help us because every month we pay 1.5 million for our staff. If they come to assist us, we'll be very, very grateful. By June 16th, 2022, Pachelis School for the Blind will be 60. The principal is happy that products of the school are widely integrating successfully into public and private institutions. Destiny Mama for Plus TV Africa. Moving on, Nigerians are expecting a change in 2023. And members of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, at all levels, have a role to play to actualize this dream. Those weird words of Reaver State Governor Nelson Wike when he visited Governor Doya Dewey at the government house, Yanugua. But governors also called for unity between the two states. Governor Yan Suwike's visit wasn't found by his desire to ensure that there is unity in the PDP before the presidential primaries ahead of the 2023 general elections. He stressed the need for synergy and peaceful coexistence among the people of rivers, Baesa and neighboring states, advising the citizens to desist from instigating crisis among governors. Wike also praised Governor Doya Dewey for his contribution to the success of the last PDP convention, saying that same is needed to silence the opposition. The way he participated in the conduct of the National Convention, just last conclusion of the convention, my brother and my sister, it is not easy. Three new governors, three, himself, Oyo and Adamawa, who didn't give them that chance, who thought that there are new people, why do you allow new people to go? But they have maracos by conducting the best ever convention. Responding, Governor Dewey thanked Wike for the visit, which he said was apt. He maintained that despite litigation over the Soku oil feed, there is need for the two states to unite while advancing their cause in the political space. You can do all of that. For instance, we are in court over Soku and all the brotherliness you have extended to me, that one, both of us have disagreed and you two, you are holding very strong. I'm also holding very strong. But I hope that God will grant us the grace to also overcome that before you leave office. With the presidential election still ahead, these two believe the PDP stands better chances of winning.

The commissioner of police, Lagos State Command, Hakim Odumusu, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Lovie Kokoyadokon, was advocating for the introduction of community policing into school curriculum. What are your thoughts on that? Take a look. Incessant attacks on innocent citizens and businesses has been the order of the day in some parts of the nation, almost on a daily basis. But that's certainly not the case with Lagos. However, AIG Hakim Odumusu confesses is not a tea party to provide security in the center of excellence as he runs up his tenure as a commissioner of police, Lagos Command. What we need is this job as a leader is leadership by example and effective supervision. We also have to do that. You can go to places and Lagos in security. So those are parts of the things that are used in making Lagos to be secure. I got involved personally at the expense of my family and the citizens of my social life. The end source crisis is certainly one experience Odumusu would never forget in a hurry. The marks are still indelible and visible everywhere in Lagos. The trauma was much. But parts of what we are signed for is sacrifices. If happens at expense even our life. We have that one behind our mind that we are to serve the country. We are to be 100% loyal to the constitution of the country. And because of serving the country now because of the hassles of the job now we have we should be prepared and we are prepared to pay the supreme price for the country. And that's what happened. So having this one behind so we are not to tally to tally 100% if a state is because we know around the line it's going to happen. He encourages officers and men of the Nigeria police to play their role in the most respectable and reasonable way. To let them have the fear of God in the policing. But you have the fear of God in the policing you may want to carry out other members of the public. Somebody go to the police station ask a problem. Directly to him or her or indirectly to a relative somebody closer to. Once I have that mind I wake up that one behind and they are coming to you because they believe they can solve their problem. Then you don't compound it by not being a human by not being professional. Odumosu who moves to a bigger assignment as an assistant inspector general of police has a few more days in Lagos as a commissioner police.

But how could residents have described the state government's fight against illegal oil bunking on soot in the state as a welcome development? The residents wake up every morning to breathe air polluted by soot emitted from illegal refineries in the state. In a broadcast the governor had declared 19 illegal oil bunkering kidpins wanted and tax counsel, chairman and traditional rulers to guard their demands against the activity. The soot emission in pottercots and eat environs continues to be a major concern for residents who attribute the cost to illegal oil bunkering and gas flaring by multinational companies in the Niger Delta. I do not think the river state government is doing enough to tackle the issue of soot if enough was being done the governor would have released the report of the committee he set up on soot which we've not seen the report today. But if we see that report which is a process of investigation we'll get to know the sources of this soot. If the state government said the local government should calm down on bunkering activities it is going to be a holistic matter. We are responsible men of the society who have been engaged to engage this bunkering. It can be a dialogue thing but if you say you can get a huge boys that are not properly fed to go and start fighting bunkers for these bunkers will take care of these boys and then this menace will continue. It will be recalled that in the past few months Petron has been fighting this battle. We have been going from places to places smoking out the operators of attestinal refinery otherwise do not go fire and reverse it. We are happy that the reverse state government has come all out to the directors of the governor the local government chairman to fight this fight. They suggest that the best way to curb illegal oil bunkering is by creating jobs for the team in Utah. We here at Utah Environmental Advocacy Center we are working at modalities of creating and establishing solar farms in communities starting this 2022 so that you too are involved in these processes can get other alternative opportunities within and around those solar power systems to be able to end their living. Diplomatic solution can also be on stream. If you arrest or climb down of the attestinal refinery operators you bring them to book and give them an alternative of setting up a modular refinery. I'm sure that between now and the next few months this area would have been turned around to become an employment hub for the nation. Is it wrong for a state government to do the refinery? Every Nigerian state is big. They can build refineries for them. Produce. If you say if it is the modular refineries you do it and do it well. Let the boys come, engage them. The police has a big bone in the throats of illegal oil bunkers in recent times. A move commended by the people. And that's all on this edition of Plus Report.
