Ekiti Distributes 100 Tricycle Wheelchairs to Residents with Disabilities
The Ekiti State Government, Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre and two former corps members have partnered to distribute 100 locally made tricycle wheelchairs to persons with disabilities in the state. The handover took place on November 10 at the Ekiti State Skill Acquisition Centre in Ilokun, Ado-Ekiti. The former corps members said they helped arrange the partnership after seeing the state’s disability inclusion efforts. The NGO said the wheelchairs were made and assembled in Jos, with local technical support and repairs in mind. State officials said the government provides free medical care for persons with disabilities and supports their inclusion in public service and education. Beneficiaries were advised not to sell the wheelchairs or ride them on highways.
