The FCT Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) Committee on COVID-19 on Tuesday distributed palliative to persons with disabilities residing within some parts of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).
The distribution took place in two centres, L.E.A primary School, Karu Site which covered residents with disabilities at Jikwoyi, Kurudu, Orozo, Nyanya, Karu, Karshi etc and the second centre was L.E.A Primary School, Jabi which covered residents with disabilities from Wuse, Garki, Asokoro, Maitama, Kabusa, Jabi, Gwarinpa, Karimo, Gwagwa, Jiwa etc.
The Qualitative Magazine was at the scene of the exercise, we observed well coordinated committee and the distribution was peaceful and all those who are at the centres of the distribution got the palliative.
We learnt that the committee preferred the option of home delivery of the palliative but they are faced with the challenge of logistics to do that so they have no other option than choosing designated centres and ensure that beneficiaries obey social distancing by taking the palliative to them wherever they are seated within the place of distribution.
The Exercise continues on Wednesday at Rehabilitation Centre, Kwali to cover the PWDs in Kwali Area Council, Pilot Primary School near Area Court, Gwagwalada to cover residents with disabilities in Gwagwalada Area Council and Abuja School for the Deaf, Kuje for residents with disabilities in Kuje Area council.
