Aransi hails gov Adeleke, Osun Assembly on passage of state disability bill

Hon. Kamil Aransi, the Special Adviser to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Special Needs, has praised Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Obokun lawmaker, Hon. Adeyemi Adewumi, popularly known as Irekandu, and other legislators over the successful passage of the Osun State Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Bill, 2024.

Aransi, who could not hide his joy and excitement, described the bill as a better approach to assist the government and people with disabilities in their journey of inclusion.

While appreciating Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi IREKANDU for sponsoring the bill, Aransi stated that he has no doubts that the bill would not only secure the welfare, health and education of every person with disabilities in the state but also protect their rights.

According to Aransi, the Disability Prohibition Bill would give equal rights to participation in decision-making, and persons with disabilities would be able to contribute their quota to the growth and development of the state.

Aransi, who described Governor Ademola Adeleke as a governor with a human face and consciously driven by compassion and extreme affection for the poor and vulnerable, disclosed that his principal would be eager to sign the bill into law, set up the necessary bureau, and allow it to function for the public good.

Senator Adeleke is a leader for all. I am glad that Osun State is leading the discussion of empowering persons with disabilities through state apparatus, and it shows the compassion and desperation of the governor to grow the state in all measures, Aransi added.
