Npower News: Do Not Scrap Humanitarian Ministry, Appoint Adenike Tejuosho as Minister — Joint Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) Appeals To President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The Joint Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) has begged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho as Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
Earlier this year, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu suspended the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Dr. Betta Edu, with immediate effect and asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate financial transactions involving Betta Edu's ministry.
The National President of the association, Abdullahi Aliyu Usman, made the appeal while addressing newsmen in Abuja on Saturday.
The National President of the association, Abdullahi Aliyu Usman, said: “As a community dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities and the less privileged, we acknowledge the efforts and strides made by the administration in addressing various societal issues.
“In light of this milestone, the community of persons with disabilities respectfully urges President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider the appointment of Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho as the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
“Dr. Tejuosho’s unwavering commitment and support to the community of persons with disabilities and the less privileged in Nigeria have been exemplary, making her an ideal candidate for this crucial role.”
The National President of the association, Abdullahi Aliyu Usman, said Dr. Halimat has consistently demonstrated her dedication to improving the lives of persons with disabilities and marginalized communities through her advocacy, initiatives, and programs.
According to the National President of the association, Abdullahi Aliyu Usman, “The community of persons with disabilities/widows in Nigeria emphasizes that this request is unprecedented, underscoring the critical importance of having a leader who understands and prioritizes the challenges faced by persons with disabilities and marginalized groups.
“Dr. Tejuosho’s appointment would not only be a significant step towards inclusivity and empowerment but also a testament to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to fostering positive change and social justice.
“As a community, we appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider our plea and recognize the invaluable contributions that Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho can make in advancing humanitarian efforts and poverty alleviation in Nigeria.
“We believe that her appointment would further strengthen the government’s commitment to ensuring equal opportunities and support for all members of society.
“We express our sincere hope that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will give due consideration to this request and take into account the aspirations of the community of persons with disabilities as he continues to steer the nation towards progress and prosperity.”
