Governor Adeleke’s message highlighted the remarkable achievements of PWDs, emphasizing that they are not defined by their challenges but by their ability to overcome them.
"Across Osun State and beyond, we see PWDs excelling in arts, sports, education, governance, and entrepreneurship, proving that disability is not inability," Adeleke remarked.This message aligned perfectly with the theme of World Disabilities Day 2024,
“Amplifying the Leadership of Persons with Disability for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future.”The theme underscored the vital role of PWDs in driving progress and fostering inclusivity across all sectors.
A Commitment to Inclusion
“Persons with disabilities have the potential to excel irrespective of the challenges they face,” Adeleke said.He further called for the engagement of PWDs in governance, education, and entrepreneurship, challenging societal stereotypes and promoting equality.
World Disabilities Day, observed annually on December 3rd, is a United Nations initiative that promotes inclusion and support for PWDs worldwide. The day serves as a reminder of the need to break down barriers and create a society where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can achieve their full potential.
