The International Day of Persons with Disabilities, observed annually on December 3rd, highlights the contributions and potential of individuals living with disabilities. This year's theme, "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future," shows the importance of empowering their leadership and ensuring their inclusion in decision-making. People with disabilities bring valuable insights and have shown remarkable talent and resilience across various fields, including sports, where para-athletes have consistently made us proud on the grobal stages. In Imo State, their contributions are acknowledged and reflected in state policies aimed at fostering inclusion. This day serves as a reminder to uphold the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities, promote awareness of accessibility, and work toward building a more equitable society for all.
