You Are a Blessing to us: People With Disabilities Hail Akin Alabi

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Egbeda and Ona Ara local governments of Oyo state have lauded Hon. Akin Alabi for his unparalleled support for people with disability.

The federal lawmaker and Chairman of the House Committee on Works distributed 100 handicapped tricycles, crutches, and walking sticks, providing vital mobility aids to physically challenged individuals.

Hon. Akin Alabi’s initiative was a significant gesture aimed at enhancing the mobility, independence, and dignity of PWDs.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Alabi highlighted the importance of ensuring that every member of the community, including those with physical disabilities, was not left behind. “True community development is incomplete if it does not include support for marginalized groups, including people with disabilities. We must ensure that no one is left behind,” he said, promising further empowerment initiatives for PWDs by January.

He said he would not relent in his efforts to render continued assistance for people with disabilities in his constituency.

The event was attended by members of the local community, Senatorial Chairman Hon Joshua Oyebamiji who on behalf of the acting State Chairman, Hon Abas preached unity and oneness and praised Hon Alabi for his continuous achievements in the constituency, while also praising Akin Alabi for remembering the people with disabilities, other leaders and advocates for disability rights, who expressed their profound gratitude to Hon. Akin Alabi for his continuous efforts to uplift marginalized groups.

Many of the beneficiaries, some of whom had been confined to their homes due to lack of mobility support, were visibly emotional as they received their new tricycles and walking aids.
