ABIA: My Govt Will Provide For Children With Special Needs – Chima Nwafor

Children with special needs may need to be elated as the Abia State governorship candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Engineer Enyinnaya Chima Nwafor, has promised to prioritize their education if elected come 2023.

Nwafor expressed optimism that children with special needs would be encouraged to go to school when proper facilities are provided for, thereby reducing the number of out of school children.

A statement released by Ude Nwachukwu, Director, Media & Publicity Nana/Ofuji Campaign Organisation on Thursday, quoted Nwafor as saying that;

“Apart from our concerted efforts aimed at ensuring that more and more children go to school, the government we propose shall ensure even spread of schools that can cater for children with special needs.

This way, we tackle stereotypes associated with this category of citizens, while giving them brand new sense of belonging.

We are progressives. We know that stereotype is the worst form of discrimination. Little by little, education will cease to be a luxury for greater percentage of people with special needs”.
