Honorable Jibril Onoru-Oiza Abu, a member of the Kogi State House of Assembly representing the good people of Ajaokuta, recently hosted a Ramadan Iftar and Lent get-together for individuals living with disabilities in Ajaokuta Local Government.
This gesture is a true reflection of his commitment to building a united and inclusive community within his constituency. By hosting people living with disabilities, he demonstrates a genuine dedication to put forward social cohesion and promoting the well-being of all members of his Constituency.
The event brought together members of the disability community, providing feeling of good friendship and sense of belonging.
Mallam Umar, chairman of the people with disabilities Ajaokuta LG chapter, expressed profound gratitude to Hon. Jibril for his support and kindness. He commended Hon. Jibril for appointing a member of the disability community, Hon. Boyi Mustafa as his aide, highlighting the positive impact this has had on their morale and employment opportunities.
As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Hon. Jibril’s selfless act serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy, kindness and inclusivity. His actions have not only brought joy and hope to the disability community, but have also inspired others to emulate his compassionate leadership.
In a society where people living with disabilities often face stigma and marginalization, Hon. Jibril’s efforts to promote their inclusion and welfare are gentle breeze of reassurance for a more inclusive and equitable society.
