In his effort to mitigate the suffering of physically challenged persons in his Constituency, member representing Dass Constituency in the Bauchi State House of Assembly Hon. Babangida Manager has disbursed tricycle-wheelchairs donated to him by Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre Jos to constituents living with disability.
Speaking during the disbursement ceremony which took place at Emir Palace, Dass Local Government Area on Sunday, the Member said that people living with disability face numerous challenges in their life especially for the fact that most of them are from the poor family and as a result, many of them don’t go to school or engage in trades and businesses because of the condition they found themselves.
