FILISTER IRARIMAM MUSA HAILS JDPC, BEAUTIFUL GATE CENTRE OVER 100 WHEELCHAIR DISTRIBUTION
The Honourable Commissioner for Social Justice and Reintegration, Hon. Dr. Filister Irarimam Musa, JP, has commended the Justice, Development and Peace Commission (JDPC), Jalingo and the Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre, Jos for their donation and distribution of 100 wheelchairs to Persons with Disabilities in Taraba State.
The Commissioner gave the commendation on Wednesday during the distribution exercise held at the Saint Charles Borromeo Pastoral Centre, Mile Six Bypass, Jalingo.
Describing the intervention as a significant humanitarian gesture, Hon. Dr. Musa noted that government alone cannot address all the challenges confronting Persons with Disabilities. She stressed the need for stronger collaboration between government, faith-based organisations, civil society groups, and development partners to ensure that PWDs receive the necessary support and equal opportunities to participate fully in society.
The Commissioner further appreciated JDPC and Beautiful Gate Centre for responding to the mobility needs of vulnerable persons, describing the gesture as a practical step towards promoting social inclusion, dignity, and improved quality of life.
She reaffirmed the commitment of the Taraba State Government under His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas to continue supporting initiatives that promote the welfare, dignity, and inclusion of Persons with Disabilities across the state.
God bless the Justice, Development and Peace Commission!
God bless the Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre!
God bless Taraba State!
