Don't hide deformed kids, they can contribute to nation's growth – Expert

Olawuyi made the call in Ilorin while delivering her paper presentation at the 255th Inaugural Lecture of the University, entitled: “People With Disabilities and the Celebration of Life Beyond Limits”.

The don, who teaches in the Faculty of Education of the University, submitted that parents should desist from hiding their children who have one form of disability or another. She asserted that when these children were brought out on time, they would be able to access quality education and improve their lives.

Olawuyi also postulated that people should also be conscious of the causes of disabilities and take precautions, especially for the adventitious causes that could be controlled to an extent.
