He said on this occasion, KIPSN wishes to emphasize on the need for inclusive action to address the challenges faced by persons with disabilities in Kano State.
We call on the Kano State Government to implement the Persons with Disabilities Commission Law as amended in 2022, which aims to promote the health, education, and social well-being of persons with disabilities from different clusters in the state.
Furthermore, KIPSN urges the state government to implement at least 2% employment opportunities for persons with disabilities in various ministries, departments, and agencies. This will not only promote inclusivity but also tap into the talents and skills of persons with disabilities.
