It's a new month.

Happy New Month to every Nigerian living with any form of disability.

You're recognized. You'll be protected. You'll be included.

This is my simple mandate in the National Commission for People with Disability.

The Nigerian government through her National Commission for People with Disabilities is resolute on protecting the rights of people with disabilities, implementing sustainable inclusion action and educating her citizenry to lend a helping hand in every part of the nation.

We're resolute on defending the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act 2018, and fulfill the mandate of educating, protecting, and caring for people with all forms of disabilities in Nigeria.

We solicit for your support in this journey.

Good morning

It's a new week to show love. It's a new week to reach out to those who have HIDDEN DISABILITIES.

Mental disorders has grown in recent times, and the society isn't tuned to recognize them.
Let us lend a helping hand to the vulnerable around us.

Not all disabilities are visible.

We recognize and support those with HIDDEN DISABILITIES.

Think outside the chair.

We must learn never to address people with their disabilities.

We should avoid statements like "that LAME director" or "that short BLIND woman."

A disability is not a name tag. We can do better.

I urge all residents to cooperate with the security agencies and provide useful information that will aid the arrest of these miscreants and recovery of the abducted.

It's a sad morning for out state and the people of Birnin Yauri, but we'll come out stronger.

The FG & State Government has been doing a lot to curb these unnecessary and malicious attacks that threatens the peace of our small communities.

However, we need to do more to win this war. I urge the security agencies to take swift action towards recovering the abducted.

[Hon. Hussaini Suleiman Kangiwa @Hon_Kangiwa]

I received sad news recent bandits attack on Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri that led to the death of a policeman, and the abduction of over 70 students and 5 members of staff.

I condemn these attacks, and commiserate with the families of the deceased and abducted.

[Hon. Hussaini Suleiman Kangiwa @Hon_Kangiwa]

I urge Nigerian youths to conduct themselves within the confines of the law as they express their fundamental human right to public opinion and protest today around the nation.

I also urge the security agencies to deal with every situation with maximum restraints.

God bless 🇳🇬

The US has pledged to support our work on improving the full participation of people living with disability in our electoral process.

In addition, the Ambassador also assured me of the US support for three proposed flagshi

...to improve their standards and conditions of living across the 6 geopolitical zones of the country.

The Ambassador shared a number of US funding opportunities for the disabled community in Nigeria.

We're taking full advantage of these opportunities.

The Ambassador pledged the US support to the commission's work towards increasing the electoral participation, political inclusion and social welfare of people living with disability in Nigeria.

I want to assure the disabled community in Nigeria that we're working tirelessly...

Last week Friday, I received in my office the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Mary Beth Leonard @USinNigeria who had come to pay a courtesy visit to the commission.

We discussed a number of challenges facing the disabled community in Nigeria especially electoral access.
