The Port Harcourt office of the (NDDC) Niger Delta Development
Commission today experienced a gridlock as disabled people from the Niger Delta
states stormed the office
About N1,000 disabled persons across the region were seen
protesting that the commission has always neglected them in its activities and
it was the only way they could show their grievances.
He also said for a long time the
commission hasn’t made any impact on people with disabilities and they have
attempted severally to get the attention of the commission but to no avail and
that was why they did the protest.
Mr Enogho said they are appealing to the Commission to
assist them in creating employment opportunities, award scholarships, give them
free medical care and other schemes that can empower the disabled people in the Niger Delta.
The M.D of NDDC has promised that the commission will look
into their matter and ensure that they are contacted within the next two week…
My Opinion: I feel their pains. NDDC, its not by making
promises ooo. The commission should ensure that the reasons for this protest is
taken care of.
