Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun, on Tuesday, said the state would soon enact disability law to cater to the needs of people living with disabilities.

Mr Adeleke said this while distributing support materials to people with disabilities in Osogbo, the state capital.

“Osun must get a disability law in due course to cater for the needs of this class of our society,” the governor said.

Mr Adeleke said his administration would review the legal framework as it affects the people with disabilities within the state.

He said all the needed legislative and executive actions toward enacting the law would be launched without further delay.

“To our people with special needs, this administration will ensure that the final law addresses all your concerns.

“Once the legal framework is formalised, be rest assured of full implementation as may be prescribed,” he said.

Mr Adeleke noted that the government had the responsibility to support all categories of its citizenry and said the distribution of the support materials programme was designed to strengthen people with special needs.

While commending the state’s people for the success of Saturday’s house of assembly election, the governor also sympathised with victims of political violence in the state.

“Now that elections are over, I call on all Osun people to get back to work and focus on the urgent task of building a better Osun state,” he said.
