Lagos State, through Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA), has registered and presented free Corporate Affairs Commission certificates to 100 Persons with Disabilities to create sustainable and successful environment for them.
General Manager of LASODA, Mrs. Adenike Oyetunde-Lawal, at a two-day training for disabilities clusters, said the program was to equip PWDs with skills to establish their business, foster economic independence and allow them contribute to growth.
Mrs. Oyetunde-Lawal, represented by Director of Administration and Human Resources, Mrs. Omolade Shonubi, noted that the theme: ‘Promoting Inclusive Business: Enhancing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities in Lagos’, was apt. She said it is a way to break stereotypes and elevate businesses run by PWDs.
She said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is committed to creating policies to ensure inclusion and equal rights for PWDs.
