Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Seven years after the Ogun Disability Law was signed, the state, like many other parts of Nigeria, still grapples with challenges faced by Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), Gift Oba reports.<\/p>\nOn a sunny afternoon this December, Ileyemi Olayinka, was denied access into a bank at Sapon, Abeokuta, Ogun State, where she went to make some transactions. Olayinka\u2019s offense was her wheelchair.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t go inside (banking hall). We\u2019ll call one of our staff to come and attend to you outside,\u201d one of the security guards told her, leading to a back and forth.<\/p>\n
Disturbed by the stiff resistance, Olayinka threw an unanswered question at them:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I wanted to open an account here, did you people tell me to stay outside?\u201d<\/p>\n
Olayinka who lives at Adigbe area of Ogun\u2019s capital city said her hard-to-forget experience after she was attended to outside the banking hall.<\/p>\n
Whereas, getting to the bank from her house was another herculean task.<\/p>\n
\u201cI live in Adigbe. If I\u2019m going to the other side of Panseke, I have to look for another taxi to take me across to the other side.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot cross and I can\u2019t climb the (Panseke) pedestrian bridge. It\u2019s too high and long,\u201d Olayinka said.<\/p>\n
Findings by DAILY POST revealed that disability unfriendly facilities remain a major challenge for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Ogun State.<\/p>\n
Many public buildings, including schools, hospitals, and government offices, lack ramps, elevators, and other assistive devices.<\/p>\n
This makes it difficult for wheelchair users, the visually impaired, and those with mobility impairments to access essential services.<\/p>\n
A 2023 Disability report by the World Health Organization, (WHO) estimated that 1.3 billion people or 16 percent of the global population experience a significant disability and over 27 million are from Nigeria.<\/p>\n
In most parts of Nigeria, the transportation system is not designed to accommodate PWDs\u2019 plights.<\/p>\n
Many drivers exploit them and, in some cases, discriminate against this community, leaving them at the mercies of family members.<\/p>\n
Olayinka explained that she always pays extra fare to secure services of cab drivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m going to Sango \u2013 Ota and the normal charge is N1,500, I\u2019ll have to pay an extra N1400 for my wheelchair. It\u2019s as bad as that,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n
Tortuous Journey To Education<\/b><\/p>\n
Education is seen as a fundamental right, but for many PWDs, it remains an elusive dream. While the state government has made efforts to provide inclusive education, challenges persist.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the chairman of the association of the hearing impaired, Rasheed Salami, he maintained that communication has always been the major problem for them.<\/p>\n
Salami stated that schools often lack qualified teachers trained to support PWDs, and assistive technologies like braille materials and sign language interpreters.<\/p>\n
This, according to him, has forced many to drop out of school, limiting not only their educational opportunities but also hindering their future prospects.<\/p>\n
Citing himself as an example, he noted that while in a primary school in Ilaro, he was only given melon (egusi) to peel, until he was later taken to a private school where he enjoyed education and was given special attention.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Abiodun Folashade, a representative of children with intellectual disability clusters in the state, lamented that the government does not talk about other forms of disabilities.<\/p>\n
Folashade explained that PWDs also include children with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and albinism.<\/p>\n
Stressing that every child, according to the law, has the right to education, Folashade alleged that in Ogun, children with intellectual disability \u201care not considered.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said \u201cAlthough there\u2019s school for the deaf and blind, children with intellectual property disabilities are not carried along.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you take them to schools, the schools tell you to take them to a special school.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are no special teachers to take care of them and it has become a major challenge because when they are at home and their parents have gone to work, these female children with intellectual disability become vulnerable and are most times raped.\u201d<\/p>\n
Limited Access To Healthcare<\/b><\/p>\n
Access to quality healthcare is another significant challenge for PWDs in Ogun State as many healthcare facilities are not equipped to handle the specific needs of PWDs.<\/p>\n
Many persons who are deaf people face communication barriers in hospitals and some are left unattended when they come without interpreters.<\/p>\n
For those who are physically challenged, they are welcome with harsh and derogatory statements from doctors and nurses in the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey say, who even impregnated you with this condition? So, you also enjoy sex?<\/p>\n
\u201cThese statements are bad. These are things nurses say freely,\u201d one Iyabo said.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the impact of the present economic hardship, Folashade said that many PWDs, particularly those from low-income families, find the cost of specialized medical treatment expensive, causing delays in diagnosis, insufficient care, and avoidable health issues.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cMy child is almost 10 years old and I still \u2018back her\u2019. How many parents can afford a wheelchair? Even if you can afford a wheelchair, how about transportation?\u201d<\/p>\n
Employment Door \u2018Shut\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n
The labour market in Ogun State, like many other parts of Nigeria, is not favorable to the PWDs as employers are reluctant to hire them.<\/p>\n
For people living with Albinism, many of them said lack of employment had pushed them into financial hardship and social isolation.<\/p>\n
Miss Kolawole Abiodun, a HND graduate of Accounting from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, said she has been rejected several times by different organizations because of her skin colour and sight challenge.<\/p>\n
The graduate, who now sells recharge cards in Sagamu local government of the state, has begun to question the essence of living since she\u2019s not counted as human.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cThey do not count us as humans and we feel rejected and it makes us question the essence of living.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a HND graduate from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta and I have been rejected several times by different organizations when job hunting.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, I sell cards under the sun and I always have to wear long sleeves with my umbrella. Just last month, I was rejected again because I\u2019m an Albino so they felt I can\u2019t handle or keep records.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abiodun, who spoke on behalf of the Albino foundation, urged governor Dapo Abiodun to come to their aid by also providing reading glasses to Abinos, saying \u201cwe are also facing many challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n
We Still Have A Long Way To Go \u2013 Chairman JONAPWD<\/b><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Micheal Ebohan, the Ogun State chairman of Joint Associations of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) has harped on the need for the state government to implement the disability law.<\/p>\n
Ebohan, while stressing that their plight is fueled by lack of laws protecting them, maintained that if the public knows that there are penalties for doing certain things to people with disability, they\u2019ll stop all the harassment.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Centre for Disability and Inclusion Africa, (CDIA) has urged the federal and state government to create an agency that will be in charge of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
The CDIA Executive Director, Yinka Olaito, told DAILY POST that the agency when created should be headed by a person with disability, arguing that the person who wears the shoe knows where it hurts.<\/p>\n
PWDs Will Not Be Left Behind \u2013 Ogun Commissioner<\/b><\/p>\n
The State\u2019s Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Adijat Adeleye, said the Dapo Abiodun-led administration would break down the societal stereotype, create equitable job opportunities and provide access to education and health services for PLWDs in the state.<\/p>\n
She maintained that the administration was also committed to ensuring that their voices were heard, their talents fully realised and would create a sustainable future where no one is left behind.<\/p>\n
The commissioner said, \u201cIn addition to previous interventions at various fora, we have provided supporting facilities including mobility aids, professional working tools, and digital educational devices for the different clusters of persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe State Government is not resting on its oars and remains steadfast in identifying with them now and always, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey towards an inclusive society.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo achieve true inclusion, we will continue to work steadfastly through policies and strategies in collaboration with concerned stakeholders both in the public and private sector to prioritize accessible education, create equitable employment opportunities, ensure healthcare services cater to diverse needs, and break down societal stereotypes,\u201d she assured.<\/p>\n
