Dana Air’s Discriminating Policy Against the PWDs: NNAD SAYS NO TO INJUSTICES
Nigeria National Assocation of the Deaf have condemned in strong terms the discrimination Dana Air have subjected persons with disabilities to whenever PWDs seek their services.
In a statement released by Engr Timothy Adejumo, the National Secretary General,
Nigerian National Association of the Deaf
Abuja, the group said that they have been following the scenarios around the Dana Air’s continuous discrimination of the Persons with Disabilities (including the Deaf), through additional charges (which they called TAX), cancellation of ordered tickets, delaying of scheduled flights, etcetera, with no other reason (s) than their passenger’s state of disability(ies).
“The latest being one of our Deaf Lawyers, Barrister Catherine Edeh, that had smooth conversations with Dana Air customer service until she stated that she is Deaf. The event happened on 23rd March, 2021 in Lagos” he added.
The group wholeheartedly condemned these acts of discrimination on the Deaf and the other disability clusters.
The group is offering supports and collaboration with regulatory agencies and other Clusters to stand against these kinds of discrimination on us. IT MUST STOP.
