Former Lagos Deputy Governor Advocates for Inclusive Education

At the fifth anniversary of Place of Liberty School for Special Needs Children and the second anniversary of its vocational school in Lagos, Princess Sarah Adebisi Sosan, the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, urged for inclusive education for children with disabilities. She called on parents, schools, organizations, and individuals to support initiatives that help these children develop their talents and contribute to society.

Sosan emphasized the need for public and private schools to create inclusive classrooms, allowing children with disabilities to learn alongside their peers. She expressed concern over societal attitudes that lead some parents to hide their children with disabilities, encouraging them instead to provide opportunities for their development.

Sosan highlighted the progress of Toma Onu, a beneficiary of the school, noting her achievements and resilience. She praised Place of Liberty for offering services free of charge and urged continued support from churches, individuals, and corporate organizations despite economic challenges.
