He explained that education is easier for people with special needs who have access to technological gadgets.

Ganduje stated this in an event on Friday while urging governors in Northern Nigeria to invest in persons with disabilities to reduce the menace of begging in the region.

The event brought together experts in disability education, federal and state government officials, staff, alumni, and students of Tudun Maliki Special School, Kano, with a keynote address from the school’s vice principal, Ibrahim Abdukabir, on the impact of the Let’s Talk Humanity Initiative.

He noted that if governors and other stakeholders adopt the approach of human investment, there’s no doubt there will be a big change in our society.

“Yes, they are neglected because they are physically challenged. This has affected their psyche and motivation, and they cannot even think they are human beings like other beings, but by unveiling this kind of program, we are making them like any other human being in our society.

“Finally, I urge those in authority and development partners to make a great change; it’s fishing. Those physically challenged can’t stop begging. They can develop to the extent that they can even be employers of labor. They can develop to the extent that they can be geniuses in various fields of endeavors,” he said.
