Executive Secretary of National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), James Lalu, stated this on Monday in Abuja, as part of the enlightenment toward the January 15, 2024 deadline.
Lalu said that the enlightenment had become necessary in order to persuade organisations on the implementation of the accessibility law whose enforcement was expected to commence upon expiration of the deadline.
The executive secretary, who was represented by the Head of Accessibility Department, NCPWD, Hannah Olayinka, emphasised the need for organisations, especially public facilities, to accommodate PWDs in the design of their structures.
