The association of lawyers with disabilities in Nigeria (ALDIN) on the 6th of November, 2020 continued the implementation of its Enugu Project on “Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Enugu State” supported by the Disability Right fund.
The meeting started with a recap of what transpired the previous day. Thereafter participants gave testimonials or takeaways from programs of the first day.
The above was followed by a roundtable discussion featuring some experts that shared their experiences on the previously sought after Enugu Disability Rights Law.
The forum had robust discussion on the trajectory of the now abandoned Enugu Disability Rights Law and preferred ways to resurrect the process and get it back on track.
Subsequently, there was paper presentation on “Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2018” by both Catherine Edeh and Okoroha Ndibuisi respectively. The papers were followed by question and answer session.
The program culminated with a strategy development session.
