By Joy Baba Yesufu

A coalition of People With Disabilities (PWD) has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho to take charge of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation as Minister.

This was made known during the PWD National Stakeholders Press Conference in Abuja, chaired by Rt Hon. Dr Samuelson Emehibe on behalf of the National Coordinators of PWD National Stakeholders.

According to Dr Emehibe, President Tinubu has championed the cause of Nigeria for quite some time now including the dissolution of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
He said anyone called to serve is expected to add value in the field of endeavors so the country’s economy will improve and advance to another level as well as to ensure the betterment of the poor masses. “You are not called to loot funds, you are not called to destroy, you are not called to make the Nation unbearable and unsuitable for foreign investors to come in and invest here in Nigeria” he added.

“In the aspect of the persons with Disabilities, we are very happy because we have suffered a lot in the past decades. We need a person of credible character, we need a reliable person who will champion the cause of the less privileged, the windows, the orphans and the entire Special Citizens in the Nation. There is a need to ensure that things are going well for persons with Disabilities in Nigeria.
“We need a person who can revive our National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, we need a person who will make sure things get to the grassroots for persons with Disabilities.
“Dr. Tejuosho has displayed and exhibited a high level of unquantifiable value, immense contributions and attributes to humanity which has made her worthy to be recommended to suit as the most qualified personality to head the Humanitarian ministry.
“We sincerely recommend Mr. President to kindly appoint Dr Tejuosho to work with him as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs. She is most competent for the position. Her result oriented nature, her positive mindset as well as her love for humanity including many other virtues she portrays will yield a lot not just for the less privileged but the Nation at large.”
