The Senior Special Assistant to president Bola Tinubu on special needs and equal opportunities, Mohammed Abba Isa has called for collaboration with Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on various initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable health and improving the living conditions of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Nigeria.
The presidential aide made the call while paying courtesy visit to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nanna Nandap, extending heartfelt congratulations on her new appointment.
“I extend heartfelt congratulations to her on her well-deserved appointment and commend President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering support towards her endeavors aimed at transforming the Immigration Service to adhere to global standards in every aspect.”
The SSA also urged the Immigration Service to implement at least 5% quota for PWDs into their workforce.
He added, “I am delighted to announce that she has expressed her principled agreement to support our upcoming Presidential Socio-economic Programme scheduled for June 2024. This year’s programme will feature Para-Sport events, with a particular focus on shooting and archery.
“The event aims to provide a platform for Immigration Personnel who have sustained injuries either through accidents or in the line of duty, as well as mainstream disability sportsmen, to engage, compete, nurture talents, and contribute positively to both the Nigerian Immigration Service and the nation as a whole.”
The grand finale of the programme will include an awards ceremony to honor the winners, as well as the distribution of palliatives to numerous target beneficiaries.
“This gesture reflects our collective commitment to alleviating the challenges posed by the current economic realities facing our nation.” The SSA said.
