Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state has offered automatic employment to all physical challenged graduates from his state, Vanguard reports. According to him, this is part of the state government’s determination to reduce their hardships.
speaking through Prof. Solo
Chukwulobelu, secretary to the state government, during a cultural carnival for
Anambra Central Senatorial District held at Agulu in Anaocha local government
area in continuation of the Anambra@25 Silver Jubilee anniversary celebration,
Obiano said the employment was in line with the stimulus package announced
recently for the people of the state. He said: “It is clear that any
physically-challenged person who is a graduate of a higher institution has paid
enough dues to better his lot. Such a person has passed through a lot of
hardship and therefore should not be allowed to continue to suffer. “The
governor has announced automatic employment for all physically challenged
graduates. This is not politics because we have also abolished collection of
levies in all primary schools in the state.”
The move by Governor Obiano comes
months after 260 physically challenged persons applied for various automatic
job offers to be provided by Governor Tanko Almakura of Nasarawa state. The
governor had some months back promised to offer automatic employments to
indigenes of the state living with disabilities.
