Association of People with Disabilities in Kebbi on
Tuesday appealed to the state Governor, Alhaji Atiku
Bagudu, to appoint members as special advisers for a
sense of belonging.
The Chairman of the association, Malam Muhammad
Argungu, made the appeal in Birnin Kebbi when he led
a delegation on a courtesy visit to the governor.
He said the appointment of members of the
association as special advisers would ensure their
access to government and enable them to contribute to
the state’s policy and decision making.
He also appealed for award of scholarship to children
of the members of the association schooling
in tertiary institutions.
He said “we want to appeal for offer of employment of
our members, especially as they have been trained in
many skills for self sustenance.”
In his remarks, Gov. Bagudu directed the association to
channel its requests through their Emirate councils.
He donated 1,000 pieces of brocade to the association.
