Member representing Obi one constituency at the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Dr Ibrahim Peter AKwe, has distributed handicapped tricycles and other working aids to over 400 disabled people of his constituency.
Dr. Akwe, the Chairman, House Committee on Agriculture while distributing the tricycles today in Obi urged the beneficiaries to use them to improve on their standard of living.
He said that the gesture was not only to give the disabled persons a sense of belonging but to improve on their standard of living.
" This gesture is a deliberate effort to right the wrongs of non inclusion of people living with disabilities in programs, more policies are on the pipeline for them
"Today I have distributed 300 handicapped tricycles, 100 crutches, modern walking sticks and cash to my constituents" he said
He also distributed cash to the beneficiaries with assurance to continue to roll out policies and programmes that would address the yearnings of his constituents.
The lawmaker assured of continous quality representation at the state legislature.
" You have seen what I have done and still doing in order to improve on your standard of living
" By God''s grace, I will continue to key into positive policies and programmes that will have direct bearing on your lives," he added.
Hon Akwe solicited for prayers and support from all and sundry to enable him succeed.
Akwe said he has taken statistics of clusters of people living with disabilities for intervention and this is already yielding results.
Some lawmakers from the State House of Assembly also benefited from the gesture who will in turn assist their constituents with the items.
One after the other, the beneficiaries mounted handicapped tricycles with joy and appreciated the lawmaker for the gesture praying God to reward him abundantly.
