The Centre for Citizens with Disabilities, CCD, has decried the non-implementation of the Persons With Disabilities law in Edo State two years after the bill was passed into law.

CCD decried the non-implementation of the law passed in July 2022 on Tuesday during a training for persons with disabilities on rights advocacy and advocacy action plans in Benin City. The training, themed 'Promoting Inclusive Economic Opportunities and Community Resilience for Persons with Disabilities,' was organised in collaboration with Project Enable Africa with support from the US Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund.

'Today's workshop will expose them to the knowledge of advocacy that will help them push issues in the disability law that have been passed and help them articulate themselves in going about the advocacy. 'PWDs have material and human resources within themselves that they are not utilising. So this training will help the various disability clusters know that they need to work together to achieve their advocacy objectives,' he said.
