Abuja, 04 April, 2024 / 3:37 pm (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama of Nigeria’s Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja has called on the people of God in his Metropolitan See not to be indifferent to the plight of persons living with disabilities.
Speaking to ACI Africa on the sidelines of the 32nd edition of the Annual Special Easter Monday National Celebration in honor of people with disabilities which the Sir David Osunde Foundation organized, Archbishop Kaigama also called on the government to empower persons with disabilities.
“We urge all with means, please don't shut your eyes to the plight of persons with disabilities. They need us,” the Nigerian Catholic Archbishop told ACI Africa on the sidelines of the Monday, April 1 event where 1500 persons with disabilities received mobility and hearing aids.
He added, “If you can just take five people, ten people, and be good to them, provide for them, we can do a lot for this physical challenge in this country.”
“We pray that we will have many more people inspired like Sir David Osunde, and they will take this challenge of reaching out to the neighbors or those in need without discrimination, without any marginalization,” Archbishop Kaigama said.
