Oluwakemi Alao-Akala, widow of former Oyo State Governor, is advocating for greater support for people with disabilities, particularly visually impaired students. During a recent visit to the Nigeria Training Centre for the Blind and the Oyo State Special Basic School, she emphasized that physical impairment should not be equated with inability. Her visit included the distribution of essential supplies such as food items and learning materials to the pupils, reflecting her commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable groups.

This outreach is part of Alao-Akala's monthly initiative aimed at assisting those in need within the community. She expressed her passion for helping others and believes that consistent support can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities. The items donated during her visit, including food staples and educational materials, cater to the immediate needs of the students at the institutions, showing her deep concern for their well-being.

The involvement of community leaders like Alao-Akala in initiatives for persons with disabilities is critical in addressing societal inequalities and promoting inclusivity. Her actions underscore a growing recognition in Nigeria of the importance of supporting individuals with disabilities, highlighting the need for collective effort in ensuring that such marginalized groups receive the necessary encouragement and resources to thrive in society.
