The National Commission for Persons with Disabilities has restated its commitment to support the Most Beautiful Deaf Girl in Nigeria (MBDGN) pageant coming up in Abuja on Saturday.
Its Executive Secretary, Mr James Lalu, also assured of the Commission’s determination to continue to create awareness for the rights of the deaf in Nigeria.
He gave the assurances on Thursday in Abuja when he hosted the organiser of the pageant, Mrs Janet Fasakin and some of the contestants.
Lalu congratulated Fasakin for organising the pageant which would showcase to the world that the disability community has abundance of beautiful ladies.
“The Commission will do its best to support you. We will get some funds to support what you are doing,’’ he said.
He assured also that the Commission would encourage the winner to conceptualise a proper project since the contest would create the necessary awareness about disabilities and about deafness in particular.
“We will bring these queens and our partners together to discuss how the partners will fund projects related to their mandates.
