A physically challenged member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr Peter Gwer, says he is going to distribute tricycle wheelchairs to fifty (50) disabled persons across Benue State as part of his NYSC community development service.
Mr Gwer, who hails from Guma local government area of Benue State, disclosed this to National Record Monday in an online chat.
“The Ramps (Wheelchair walkways) are 2 at INEC secretariat, 1 at NYSC secretariat and 1 at Makurdi LG secretariat.
“Beneficiaries of the 50 tricycle wheelchairs are selected from local communities around Benue State with special consideration to women and girls.
“Date for commissioning will be Wednesday 5th October at INEC secretariat”, he intimated
Gwer revealed that his aim of constructing the ramps is to eradicate the hurdles affecting the productivity of people with disabilities which increase their level of poverty.
National Record gathered that Peter Gwer was one of the winners of Unity Bank’s Corpreneuship award in Edo State during NYSC orientation Camp.
