The Osun state governor, Ademola Adeleke, has directed immediate commencement of registration of all citizens with disabilities within 10-days without a fee.
The Special Adviser on Special Needs, Kamil Aransi, in a statement made available to journalists Sunday, stated that the 10-day registration exercise would commence from Monday, May 27, 2024, to Friday, June 7, 2024.
Aransi said the registration would assist the government in knowing the precise number of people with special needs, especially in terms of wants and demands such as physical, sensory, cognitive, and intellectual impairments.
The main purpose of the registration, according to the release, is to help the government to plan and cater for them rightly, as well as identify and provide necessary support for people with special needs and create an inclusive society where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.
Aransi stated that Adeleke is obsessed with people with special needs and he wants to make positive changes that would be a clear departure from the norms.
