Speaking during the disbursement ceremony which took place in Duguri of Alkaleri Local Government Area on Friday,the Member said that people living with disability face numerous challenges in their life especially for the fact that most of them are from the poor family and as a result, many of them don’t go to school or engage in trades and businesses because of the condition they found themselves.
