The Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs La (LASODA) has partnered with the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Agency (LASPPPA) to promote inclusivity of People Living with Disability (PWDs) in infrastructure development across the state.
This collaborative discussion was held at the LASPPPA headquarters located in Ikeja during an official visit led by the General Manager of LASODA, Mrs. Adenike Oyetunde-Lawal, recently.
The aim of the visit was to discuss the strategic implementation of policies specifically designed to enhance accessibility and quality of life for PWDs during the construction of infrastructures in the state.
“While promoting equitable access to services and facilities for all residents, she said it will also ensure that buildings have designated routes, ramps and other features that make them usable by individuals with disabilities,” the report noted.
