Office of Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Katsina State Governor on Disability matters has tasked Persons with Disabilities in Katsina State on the need to stand up firmly and get knowledge without let, hindrance or disability as excuse – adding that nothing can stop them except laziness.
Not only did he charged these people, the SSA, Hon. Ya’u Rufa’i Zakka also made commendable donations of Hand- driven bicycles to some children with Physical Disabilities for ease of mobility as part of his efforts to encourage and enhance school enrolment and attendance by them.
He said this at a sensational program organised for Daura Zone at Rehabilitation/Youth centre, Daura, Katsina State where representatives with “Special Needs” from twelve Local Government Areas came together. The LGAs include Daura, Maiadua, Baure, Sandamu, Zango, Mashi, Mani, Dutsi, Kankia, Ingawa, Bindawa and Kusada.
Zakka encouraged all children, youth and adults to strive to acquire knowledge as it is the foundation for a bright future for all. He also cautioned representatives to live in peace within their communities and to stay off bad groups that disrupt the peace.
The SSA also gave assurances that the State Government is doing its best to address problems facing Persons with Disabilities, and the State as a whole.
Matching words with actions, Hon. Zakka donated school uniforms, exercise books, pencils and biros to primary school pupils of Daura Zone as part of his continual efforts to ensure that the education of children wirth Special Needs continue to be a beacon of hope to the Disability Community in Katsina State.
Also, each representative from the Twelve (12) Local Government Areas of Daura Zone got a token of #5,000 as a program benefit.
Promise was made for continuation of the program in Katsina zone.
