The Association of People with Disabilities (APWD) in Ogun State has complained that the relief items distributed by the state government have not been reaching their members.
Speaking in Ijebu-Ode, its state chairman, Mr. Abiodun Adebesin, urged Governor Abiodun to wade in by making a special arrangement to cater to the need of the residents with disabilities.
“The truth is that, once people without disabilities in our communities get hold of these items, they don’t remember us in any way.
“When there was no lockdown, we were living a life of social neglect and living from hand to mouth; how about now that nothing is working, owing to the Covid-19 lockdown? Our fate is better imagined,” Adebesin lamented.
He urged the state government to relate with their association in distributing relief items meant for its members across the state, even as he applauded the administration of Governor Abiodun, “… for having a human face”.
