Persons with Disabilities Demand Equal Access to PIA Benefits
In order to ensure their inclusion in the benefit systems outlined in current legislation, people with disabilities have urged the federal government to enact a supplemental Petroleum Industry Act. The Centre for Citizens with Disabilities organized a three-day session on the PIA and Disability Laws in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, where the demand was made. The Ford Foundation provided funding for the event, which was called "Ending Barriers Against Niger-Deltans with Disabilities."
