Over 100 persons living with disability paralysed activities at the headquarters of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, on Aba Road Port Harcourt on Wednesday, locking out staff and blocking the highway.
The protesters not only paralyzed business activities at the commission as workers and visitors were prevented from accessing the offices in the Commission’s headquarters, they also disrupted vehicular traffic on both sides of the very busy Aba Road for several hours.
Daily Times gathered that four different groups, including the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Niger Delta Great Minds Foundation of People with Deformities (NDGMFPD), Niger Delta Coalition of Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD), and Non-Achievers Disabled Association (NADA), had recently formed an eight-man committee, which visited the NDDC management, recently.
