Dr. Chike Okogwu speaking on AIT Focus NIgeria anchored by Amaechi Anaekwe on Friday said that state governors should contact Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) Executives in their respective states to reach out to lowest persons with disabilities to provide palliatives to them at this time of COVID-19.
During this interview via Skype, he called on those making donations to assist in curbing the spread of this coronavirus to ensure that their gesture includes persons with disabilities.
He assured that the 25million Nigerians with disabilities can be reached and persons with disabilities like him can give this information on how they can be reached for free.
He also said that he has been reaching out to NGOs and individuals to see how persons with disabilities can be reached at this time to help them stay at home and avoid being infected by coronavirus.
He lamented that at a time like this, people need to be reminded to remember persons with disabilities and as vulnerable people, they face more challenges at a time like this.
