The Minister disclosed this on Monday when he received executives of the Centre for Citizens with Disabilities in Abuja.

“I have also directed, within my ministry most importantly, the issue of television stations having sign language interpreters and by tomorrow, I can assure you that a directive will go out to television stations pointing their attention to the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Code. I am sure that in a few weeks time, you will begin to see the difference,” Lai Mohammed said.
