LASG Hosts Workshop For Children With Special Needs

Lagos State Government on Thursday held a sensitisation workshop for children with special needs through the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA).

Ekohotblog understands that the workshop was hosted to ensure maximum attention is given to matters relating to children with special needs.

The event with the theme: “Caring for Special Needs Children; Our Collective Responsibility”, took place at the Digital Village, Alausa, Ikeja.

Youth and Social Development Commissioner Segun Dawodu said the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration is making good its promise of ensuring an-inclusive governance that will leave no one behind.

He noted the efforts of successive governments in showing concern about the plight of people living with disability, especially children with special needs.

Dawodu said early this year, LASODA organised workshop for 300 people living with disabilities in three locations across the state, adding that they were empowered according to their area of training.

LASODA Acting Chairman Akintunde Oguntoye said caring for special needs of children is a task for his agency and the society.

He said Governor Sanwo-Olu values the lives of people living with disability, adding that he recognises their importance and contributions to the socio-political and economic life of the state.
