The Centre for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) said it received with excitement the news of the presence of International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International Idea) in Abia state.
INN reports that the organisation has chosen Abia State for its second phase of the European Union funded Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme.
ROLAC (Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption) is a program funded by the European Union and formerly implemented by the British Council in Nigeria. The program aims to enhance the delivery of justice and security services, promote anti-corruption efforts, and improve public safety in Nigeria.
CCD and ROLAC have collaborated on various projects. These projects include; Advocacy for inclusive legislation and policies, capacity building for persons with disabilities, access to justice and security services for persons with disabilities, promoting accessible infrastructure and transportation.
The partnership will ensure that persons with disabilities are included in Nigeria’s justice and security sectors, and that their rights are respected and protected.
In a statement signed by Godwin Unumeri, Ag Director, CCD noted “We welcome the news of the presence of the RoLAC ii Program in Abia State. Abia State is the second State in Nigeria where CCD has an office.”
The centre said it is committed to supporting RoLAC ii Program in achieving its mandate in Abia State just as it did in Lagos and Edo States as well as Abuja FCT.
