By Judith Ukoh

The Publisher of Eko Hot Blog, Otunba T.J Abass, has described blindness as a disability and not a limitation in reaction to students of Bethesda Home for the Blind not allowing their disability to limit them.

Otunba Abbas made the assertion at the 14th Annual interdenominational prayer for peace, progress and development of Odo-Noforija kingdom and its environs which took place on Thursday, June 29, at the palace of Oba Babatunde Olaogun Ogunlaja (JP) Kalejaiye II, the Aladeshoyin and paramount leader of Odo-Noforija Kingdom, Epe Division.
