- Description
- On 17 April 2017, an unusual silence engulfed the chamber of the House of Representatives—the usual whispers and side conversations ceased while many lawmakers turned their heads to glimpse a visitor entering the chamber. Abdulsalam Kamaldeen, who lost both limbs in childhood, was the House’s guest. As he struggled down the stairs in the chamber towards his designated seat, time seemed to pause, with every sound of his effort echoing throughout the chamber.
Due to the lack of persons with disabilities (PWD) – friendly access in the chamber, what should have been a brief walk turned into a strenuous journey for Mr Kamaldeen. In designing the chamber 27 years ago, the authorities did not consider the special needs of people like him or the over 25 million others living with disabilities.

Nominal earnings have not kept up with inflation, pushing another 10 million Nigerians into poverty in 2023. Based on World Bank projections, about 40.7 percent of Nigerians are estimated to live below the international poverty line by the end of 2024.
Poverty in Nigeria is largely driven by the daily closure of businesses, particularly those run by market women, who are key contributors to the nation's economy.
As poverty among women increases, more children are dropping out of school, many families are losing their homes, and crime rates continue to rise.
