Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District and Chief Whip on the Senate, Ali Ndume on Wednesday disclosed that plans were afoot to provide strict sanction against the rejection of people living with disabilities.<\/p>\n

This, he said, would be done through amendment of laws establishing the National Commission for Persons with Disability.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, when the FCT Para-soccer Team honoured him with an award in Abuja the lawmaker lamented the discrimination and refusal of some Ministries, Departments and Agencies to engage persons living with disabilities.<\/p>\n

He said, persons living with disabilities with relevant qualifications in their field of study should be employed to contribute their quota to the system.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is the Para-soccer team of the FCT. They want to honour me. We\u2019ve been supporting people with disabilities. These people have families and they have made us proud. They\u2019ve won laurels for Nigeria. This team was founded over 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to donate N1 million to support FCT Para-soccer. I\u2019ll arrange for you to meet the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. He will give you all the support.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Bola Ahmed Tinubu believes in his Renewed Hope Agenda. We\u2019ll have the national event in a grandeur manner and all major political leaders will be there. We can arrange that this year. This year will be a year of Renewed Hope for every Nigerian.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll make it mandatory for every MDA of the government to employ people with disabilities. They\u2019ll be placed in offices and respected, become chief executives of such government agencies, and permanent secretaries. We\u2019ve had a disabled senator who was the Chief Whip.\u201d<\/p>\n
