People living with disabilities in Lagos State have asked the state government for more job opportunities and inclusive education to improve their standard of living.
They made the requests on Wednesday during an interactive session with the state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu.
A statement said the session held at the State House, Marina.
An Assistant Director of Programmes at the Lagos State-owned Traffic Radio, Victor Oteri, who represented the cluster of visually impaired persons, called for an increment in the employment ratio dedicated to PWDs in public and corporate organisations in the state from two to five per cent.
Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, had a special moment with residents with special needs – People living With Disabilities (PWDs).
It was at an interactive session jointly organised by the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Ministry of Information and Strategy and Office of Disabilities. The event, held at the State House in Marina, offered the PWDs a golden opportunity to personally intimate the Governor with various challenges facing their clusters.
Rendition of songs of praise by the choir of Pacelli School for the Blind and Partially Sighted Children relaxed atmosphere for a productive discussion, which the clusters of PWDs had with the Governor.

He can never regain my trust
Annabel Onwuchekwa
It takes years to build trust. You slowly begin to know somebody; you become friends; lovers, then you get married. Marriage is when two strangers that came together as a couple to make a home begins to show their true characters. As a person, I cannot forgive my partner if he engages in extramarital affairs and he can never regain my trust. Even if I try to forgive, that trust is gone for life. With the trust gone, if he makes a statement, I would interpret it into 10 places. If he makes a move, I would doubt it. The worst thing you can do to your partner is to cheat on them. I can decide to stay (in the marriage) to keep my home but everything will change emotionally.
