Initiative for Creative Arts and Development for Disability- ICAD

Last week, ICAD in collaboration with Disability Support Unit, Kaduna State University, engaged the university's Disability Inclusion Focal Persons on inclusive tertiary education.

We had three resource persons: Mal. Suleiman Abdulazeez, the Chairman of Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) Kaduna Chapter, Ms. Deborah Ayomide Shaba, disability inclusion and accessibility advocate and Dr. Mujaheed Abdullahi, a disability and Hausa studies scholar.

The purpose of the engagement was to equip the focal persons with the requisite knowledge on disability inclusion, while stimulating their thoughts on how to operationalise a truly inclusive education in the university.

Through a mixture of theoretical exploration and sharing of true life experiences, the focal persons testified that their eyes of understanding were truly enlightened on the subject of disability inclusion, adding that they were now better equiped to start discharging their responsibilities as the foot soldiers of disability inclusion in the university.
