Implement Ogun disability law, PWDs beg Abiodun

Disability rights groups in Ogun State have urged Governor Dapo Abiodun to fully implement the Ogun State Disability Law. The law was signed in 2017 by former Governor Ibikunle Amosun but has yet to be operationalised.

The Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities and the Spinal Cord Injuries Association of Nigeria made the call at a joint press briefing in Abeokuta. They stated that nearly nine years after the law was signed, persons with disabilities are still waiting for it to translate into functioning institutions and enforceable protections.

The groups have engaged the state government through various means since 2025, including meetings, consultations, letters, courtesy visits, and media advocacy, but have seen no concrete results. They stressed that their campaign is not aimed at confronting the government, but at ensuring that commitments are turned into action. According to Daily Post Nigeria, discussions about possible amendments to the law should not be allowed to delay its implementation.
