Oke, my presidency will create spaces in which people with disabilities requiring special needs can flourish by ensuring the rights of persons living with disabilities are protected and existing laws are implemented, and by encouraging states to adopt these laws.
We will also increase funding to the MDAs that carter to persons with special needs and disabilities.
In the area of education, we will implement trainings for special needs professionals to offer services within the education sector and ensure strict monitoring and evaluation of schools providing special care for people with special needs.
We will also make readily available teaching and learning aids through duty free import or support for local production of such aids - and also importantly, we will increase availability of schools that can provide special needs services.
We will involve private sector transportation operators to increase access to transportation and create incentives for those who operate wheelchair accessible buses.
Healthcare delivery services for persons with disabilities will be reviewed and updated to reflect the present-day realities and address 21st century needs of persons living with disabilities.
