 My commemoration of the International Day for Cultural Diversity, a non-governmental organisation with the support of UNESCO, has held a discussion to address the challenges faced by those leaving with disabilities. In this report, Plastif and East Correspondent Immanuel Olobo-Bokun looks into the setback faced by PWDs in the area of funding. People leaving with disabilities have always been looked down on and neglected, as many see them as weaker vessels. Though with modernisation, those with disabilities are now being noticed and even recognised with what they are able to accomplish despite our situation. In commemoration with the International Fund for Cultural Diversity, a non-governmental organisation with the support of UNESCO, holds these discussions to address the challenges faced by those leaving with disability in the area of market accessibility. The essence of this activity is for us to see how we can be able to promote, to improve this market access, including both the public and the private sector. We believe that within the entire ecosystem, people with disabilities have marginalized, even though we have great names and we have huge potentials among us. People like Kobamsa Yunkai, Kobamsa is one of the best studios in West Africa. That's a lot to show that people with disabilities are included in the value chain. Funding indeed is a key factor in achieving profit in business, as such it must be looked into both by private and public sectors. The government also has a role to play in assisting those leaving with disabilities. In the public sector, what is the government doing in terms of carrying these people along? We're talking about inclusion and inclusion, even on the United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it gives the opportunity for persons with disability to be included in all facets of life. Many people in the arts community as a whole don't really know how to access funding, so it really is about educating people how to access funding, what funds are available, and also where there's help available. So many people don't know that if you're physically challenged, that you can apply for funding even to help you complete your funding application. So I think knowledge is very, very key in terms of how to access. Those leaving with disability are encouraged not to look down on themselves but be confident and make the best use of their potential. I think that the most important thing is mindset and I think that's for anybody, whether you've got physical challenge or not. It's the people who have a resilient mindset, the people who are learners, always learning, teaching themselves, and the people who make connections that succeed. And I believe that those three have nothing to do with whether you're or not you're physically challenged. Living with disability does not mean that life has ended. However, developing potential is indeed a necessity and the government must also play its part in encouraging them. Emanuel Wubububu lost the news.
