Persons with disabilities in Nigeria continue to face challenges in accessing opportunities while battling stereotypes that boxes/limits them to specific careers and a wrong societal perception that “they should aspire to nothing beyond begging”💔

Today being #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisbilities, our message at Connected Development (@Connected_dev) is simple, it is not enough to say persons with disabilities deserve equal rights and opportunities in the society…act it, live by it by hiring, providing an enabling environment/mentorship, and ending discrimination against persons with disabilities in our society!

Thanks to our colleague Albert Amos for continually leading the sign language skill share to improve our communication with him and the team and the broader community 👏

When 94% of citizens feel their feedback systems are ineffective, urgent action is needed to rebuild trust between people and their representatives.

When citizens can’t speak, democracy can’t function.

Also speaking on the importance of accountability particularly in Education, the Chief Executive Nigeria of @MalalaFund, Nabila Aguela (@NabilaAguele) shared how @Connected_dev’s #FollowTheMoney platform is providing a good feedback mechanism for citizens engagement with government and enlightening them on how to follow budgetary allocations/disbursements for education & ask the right questions👌

She closed by stating “despite best intentions, it is possible for policies not to reflect the needs of the people or address their immediate pressing needs, which is why consultations are important, especially for education interventions”
