THE Centre for Infrastructural and Technological Advancement for the Blind (CITAB) has criticised the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA) over its proposed introduction of specialised vehicle number plate for persons with disabilities.
According to him, LASODA’s focus on specialised number plates reflects a troubling disconnect from the realities confronting most persons with disabilities in Lagos.
“For an agency dedicated to disability rights, such a choice is a glaring dereliction of duty.
Fenemigho said specialised number plates would have little relevance for people struggling to meet their basic needs.
Fenemigho maintained that disability rights should be treated as fundamental human rights rather than privileges available only to economically advantaged individuals.
