MINILS Empowers 15 People Living with Disabilities through Skill Acquisition Training

Date: 2024-12-05

The Director-General of the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS), Ilorin, Comrade Issa Aremu, has called for a renewed commitment to promoting policies and practices that uphold the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities, as reported by Voice of Nigeria.

This call was made in a message marking the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities and the exhibition of the potential of people with disabilities, organised by the Ministry of Social Development, Ilorin, Kwara State.

Comrade Aremu noted that the Institute, with its mandate to promote an inclusive and harmonious work environment through education, has empowered 15 people living with disabilities through skill acquisition training. This initiative is part of the Institute's efforts to promote the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities.

The Director-General's call for a renewed commitment to promoting the rights of persons with disabilities is a timely reminder of the need to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

He added that through its Entrepreneurship Development Department, the institute also provided assistance in the form of equipment like wheelchairs to aid easy mobility within its limited resources for corporate social responsibility.

In the same vein, during the recently concluded 10th National Labour Summit dozens of people living with disabilities attended with a lady participant member of JONAPWD given a special award alongside other dignitaries.

While noting that the theme of 2024 World Disability Day, “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future” specially align with the theme “Amplify Change” of kwara State JONAPWD under the leadership of comrade Yusuf Bashir, Comrade Aremu assured that the Institute will always stand in solidarity with the PWD.

Comrade Aremu hailed Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, the Governor of Kwara State, for his unprecedented inclusion of people living with disabilities in governance as special assistants and permanent secretaries in the state.

Part of MINILS's statement reads, “MINILS celebrates the incredible strength, resilience, and contributions of individuals with disabilities around the globe.

“This year's theme resonates deeply as we strive towards a world where every person, regardless of their abilities, is valued and included. It is a reminder that our collective efforts are crucial in dismantling barriers and creating environments that foster accessibility, opportunity, and respect for all. We acknowledge the achievements of those who have paved the way for progress and commit to continuing this essential work.

“As we reflect on this theme, let us renew our dedication to advocating for policies and practices that uphold the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities.

“By promoting inclusivity and equality, we enrich our communities and strengthen the fabric of our society. Together, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives and contribute meaningfully to our shared future.

“Let us therefore embrace this commitment with compassion and determination, and work tirelessly to build a world where inclusiveness is not just an aspiration, but a lived reality for all.”
