 The persons with disabilities community in Abuja have advocated continuous engagement with relevant authorities as a way to actualize and full implementation of the National Disability Act. The event was well attended by members of the persons with disabilities community in Abuja. The aim is to further train leaders of various persons with disability groups as individuals and leaders or conveners of civil society organizations, CSOs. We need affirmative action policies that promote the employment of persons with disabilities in both the public and private sectors as well as incentives and courage employers to hire PWDs. Five percent, I repeat, at least five percent, meaning two people must be appointed by President Bola Chinubu when he is inaugurated. It is not just enough for us to say that we have the National Disability Act. It is also important for us to also ensure that the National Disability Act is implemented to the letter and that is what is driving us now in order to be able to bring all the critical stakeholders together. Now we are talking around the right holders, which is persons with disabilities and families, relatives of persons with disabilities, friends of persons with disabilities and the duty bearers, which is probably the government and other key stakeholders. While appreciating the training workshops, some stakeholders and participants could not hide the excitement as expressed, optimism that the training will further take the advocacy to the next level. When it comes to the issue of disability, we are not where we used to be. Even though we have not gotten where we want to be. So it's actually work in progress and we now have a law that protects the rights of persons with disabilities. But what we are concerned about now is the implementation of this particular law and we are working towards it pushing to see that this law is implemented. To re-presence with disabilities, this is our view and if we don't know how to go about advocating for the implementation of the view, it is not right. So my take home from today's training is knowing those strategic plans, steps to follow when it comes to advocacy. Because this is what we need to know. It is our view and nobody will go out there to advocate for the implementation for us. We have to do it ourselves. So it is very, very important. The training is coming at a very important time that we really, really need it.
