“All airline operators in Nigeria to ensure that persons with disabilities are accorded all rights and support in the course of their travels,” Sirika directed.

He also ensured the Centre for Citizen with Disabilities that the mandatory 5% employment quota enshrined in the Disability Act has been surpassed, as the Ministry and its agencies do not have any record of discrimination against people with disabilities.

The Executive Director Centre for Citizen with Disabilities, Mr. David Obinna Ayaele urged the Hon. Minister to speedily investigate the increasing human rights violations against citizen with disabilities by airlines operators in Nigeria.
