 A group under the aegis of SIDA SID Foundation, known for championing the inclusion and inactive participation of persons with disabilities in government, has renewed the call for more inclusiveness for this group. Its president, Lois Aotea, made this call in the Boudge at the World Press Conference to further amplify the advocacy by galvanizing Nigerians that the civil society community and the leadership of President Bola, Amir Chinabu and his wife, to ensure that disabilities communities are not left out in appointments and elective positions in the country. Rilling out the myriad of challenges PWDs face in the country while navigating the electoral and political landscape, Aotea used the medium to remind the government of Article 6 of the United Nations Convention on Rights of PWDs and Article 9 and 23 of the Protocol of Africa Charter on Human and People's Rights on Rights of Women in Africa. This press conference will outline ideas, recommendations and strategies from women with disabilities to Nigerian government and to also have key conversations on the discrimination against persons with disabilities prohibition act, Moputo Protocol and United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. She says her incursion into politics in 2019 when she contested for the Senate seat in the FCT opened a space for more participation for persons with disabilities into the political arena and the figures are growing. We need to remove those barriers to be able to include us accordingly. The ministerial list came and gone. Nobody from the disability community was appointed as a minister. We also have other parastartals that persons with disabilities, especially women with disabilities can be appointed as director generals, as executive directors, as executive second chiefs. So we are still appealing to governments to lift things off, to give us our rights especially by our government agencies. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
