Gombe — The Gombe State Commission for Persons with Disabilities has paid a courtesy visit to the State Coordinator of the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC), seeking deeper collaboration in advancing the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities across the state.
The visit, which took place in Gombe on Tuesday, was aimed at strengthening ties between both institutions and soliciting further support from the NEDC towards the Commission’s mission of inclusion and empowerment.
During the meeting, the Executive Chairman of the Commission commended the NEDC for its consistent and invaluable support to the disability community. He made particular reference to the Commission’s recent medical outreach in various communities within the state, where the Center for Special Education in Gombe— the only school dedicated to children with disabilities in the state—was among the beneficiaries.
Describing the school as a “hatching ground” for future leaders and advocates within the disability community, the Chairman emphasized its significance in the Commission’s long-term vision for sustainable inclusion and capacity-building.
In his response, the NEDC State Coordinator expressed gratitude for the visit and reaffirmed the Commission’s readiness to partner with the Gombe State Commission for Persons with Disabilities. He assured the delegation of the NEDC’s ongoing commitment to support initiatives aimed at improving the lives of persons with disabilities.
“Our doors are always open for meaningful collaborations,” he said, adding that the NEDC remains dedicated to fostering inclusive development across the region.
