The Administrative Secretary of Spinal Cord Injuries Association of Nigeria (SCIAN), Mr. Obioha Ononugba, has urged Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos State not to renege on his promises to the association when he visited the association secretariat recently. Obioha made this call while speaking with Daily Sun in his office at Amuwo Odofin.
He thanked the state governor for sending doctors to the clinic to take care of patients. According to him, we need more assistance, as the association needs to purchase equipment for their fashion and design workshops, which have been temporarily closed down.
The secretary disclosed that the main objective of the workshop was to train their members in the areas of fashion and designing which are yet to be realized because the workshop is not yet functional. He expressed his gratitude to well-meaning individuals, banks, clubs and corporate organizations that have assisted the association in their various projects but still called on public spirited individuals and organizations to assist them through donations as they need vehicles for the transportation of their members and funds to finish their uncompleted projects.
He also called on the general public to patronize its cyber café hitherto shut down as a result of low patronage and rising running cost. He also reminded them that the association is not only for spinal cord injured persons but also for people with disabilities who are yet to come to terms with their conditions and finding it difficult to live their normal lives.
