Kano PWD Groups Reject Protest, Praise Government’s Inclusive Efforts

by Inclusive News Network

The Joint Clusters of Kano State Persons with Disabilities, under the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Kano State Chapter, have firmly distanced themselves from a recent protest and press conference organized by the Kano Civil Society Forum (KCSF). The groups clarified that they had no knowledge of or involvement in these events, which purportedly called on the state government to establish a disability commission.

In a strongly-worded statement signed by representatives of JONAPWD and Chairmen of other disability clusters, the groups said:
“We disassociate ourselves from the press conference and the alleged sponsored protest. Those individuals claiming to represent PWDs acted without our consent. Their approach does not align with our values or methods.”

The statement emphasized the group’s preference for constructive engagement, highlighting the accessibility and responsiveness of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration.

“We believe in utilizing the open channels of communication provided by the government, where our concerns are addressed promptly. Resorting to protests undermines the progress already achieved in promoting PWD inclusion in Kano State,” they explained.

The groups commended the governor for his administration’s dedication to empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), describing Kano as the most disability-friendly state in Nigeria.

“Governor Yusuf has consistently demonstrated a commitment to PWD development. Every proposal we’ve submitted has received prompt approval, reflecting his genuine support for our community,” they noted.

While endorsing the idea of a disability commission, the groups called on JONAPWD members and the general public to refrain from participating in unauthorized protests.

“We urge everyone to avoid actions that misrepresent our community. Collaboration, not confrontation, is our path forward,” the statement concluded.
