@officiallasoda without a Board since 2019 is reeling under fraud and impunity. @followlasg can check this abuse by addressing the rot now. @omopariolaBusu4 @lukeman_salami @TolaniOjuri @OladunjoyeBles1

Nigeria's modern contraceptive prevalence rate sits at 17%, one of the lowest in Africa. In Northeastern Nigeria, the barriers are not just systemic. Women with implants are told they will not make heaven.

"No welfare programme exists in Nigeria to fund specialised services. The entire financial burden falls on parents — and the poorest families carry the heaviest weight." @DisabRightsFund @JonapwdLagos

@jidesanwoolu Great initiative! But mind the accessibility gaps please. Often, digital learning platforms lock out students and teachers with disabilities. The e-teacher tablet is one painful example.@officiallasoda @JonapwdNg @JonapwdLagos @NAB_National

We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Estar, an organisation with digital learning expertise to bring modern digital learning platforms and infrastructure into our public primary and secondary schools. This partnership will give our students access to curriculum-based tools that support critical thinking, communication, decision-making, leadership, and AI skills. It will also strengthen reading, comprehension, confidence, and classroom participation. We are investing in the training of our teachers so they can use these tools effectively and deliver more engaging lessons, with a clear focus on preparing our students for the future and improving learning outcomes across the board.

@GtBank480135 @gtbank Referring customers to a WhatsApp line that never responds isn’t customer service, it’s a dead end by design. ₦786 deducted. No breakdown. No explanation. No response. At this point, the silence feels intentional. Transparency shouldn’t be optional.

All complaints and enquiries should be forwarded to our what sapp support @08063149092 for immediate assistance. Thank you

@gtbank please explain why I was debited ₦786.00 for SMS alerts in one month. Customers are never told how many SMS were sent, how much each SMS costs, or shown a breakdown before deductions are made. Banking should not feel like a guessing game. #UnfairCharges

@NhrcNigeria Enforce the Disability Act, and stop urging actors to comply with accessibility laws. It's a shame PWDs are still stranded five years after the moratorium on accessible public infrastructure lapsed.

NHRC URGES STAKEHOLDERS TO UPHOLD RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has called on stakeholders to strictly adhere to the Human Rights Council Resolution 55/8 in dealing with issues affecting Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). The Executive Secretary of NHRC, Dr. @TonyOjukwuO, made the call at a one-day stakeholders' forum on inclusive transport and accessible housing for PWDs in Abuja. Dr. Ojukwu lamented the longstanding marginalization of PWDs in areas such as transport and housing, stressing that these are fundamental human rights, not privileges. He emphasized that PWDs deserve equal opportunity and participation in advancing and promoting their rights. The NHRC boss commended The Ability Life Initiative (TALI) for organizing the forum, which provided a platform for stakeholders to foster conversations and deepen partnerships on access and inclusion. He noted that ensuring equal access to safe, inclusive, and affordable housing and transport systems is a human rights obligation that Nigeria must prioritize. Similarly the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan, highlighted provisions of the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act 2018. He stressed that the law has created enforceable rights for PWDs, and the NCPWD will continue to pursue these rights to ensure their enjoyment. The Co-founder of @Tali_foundation, Barr. Prada Uzodimma, revealed that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) had tasked the group to review Nigeria's position on transport and housing for PWDs. The forum aimed to mobilize housing operators, collate accountability measures, and produce evidence-based reports to advance inclusion for PWDs. The event brought together key stakeholders from government, civil society, and advocacy groups to deliberate on strategies for bridging accessibility gaps and fostering inclusive development across the country. #abilityrights #disabilityrights #pwd #accesstoshelter

Although both boys look forward to playing football with their mates everyday, that is often not possible because of the damage exposure to direct sunlight could do to their skins. equalityreporters.com/too-hot-to-lea… @JonapwdNg @NcpwdOfficial @followlasg @officiallasoda

As a blind journalist passionate about inclusive development, I craved a global opportunity to translate my journalism innovation into reality. @CheveningFCDO gave me the leverage to start equalityreporters.com in Nigeria. Next application begins August 5th! Watch out...

@OladunjoyeBles1 It is actually 'Anobo', a sophisticated paranormal science that perpetuate 'the more you look; the less you see' syndrome. You should have gone back to the character who paid you to call them out...

So, I did a transaction of 76,250 this evening. I collected the money and counted it myself. It was less 3250. I asked for the balance and I was made to leave 250 because there was no change. I kept the cash in the car safe and drove to the filling station.

Very apt, Your Excellency @jidesanwoolu . A policy like this can tackle livelihood precarity, especially among women with disabilities. @officiallasoda @JonapwdNg @NcpwdOfficial @MAMI_Inclusion @JonapwdLagos
