The Deaf Community in Taraba State has expressed disappointment over their exclusion from the recent President Tinubu’s food palliative distributed across Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Taraba state through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).
In an open letter addressed to Alhaji Sani Abubakar Danladi, a Board Member of TETFund, the community lamented being sidelined during the process. The letter, signed by Rabiu Mohammed Adamu, State Coordinator of the APC Taraba Deaf Support Forum, highlights their concerns and appeals for redress.
The letter states, in part:
“With the utmost respect, we, the entire Community of Persons with Hearing Impairment, wish to bring our complaint to your attention regarding the palliatives distributed to the public, including persons with disabilities.
“It is disheartening to inform you that no member of our Deaf Community benefited from the said palliatives. This unfortunate situation occurred because we were not informed about the distribution until it was over.
“In light of the above, and in recognition of our shared humanity, we humbly request that you address our complaint and provide assistance to us in any possible way.”
The community hopes their plea will prompt swift action to ensure they are not left out in future distributions.
