“Some of the physically challenged already have vocations,” he said, “all they need is a little encouragement and support from the Federal Government, wealthy individuals and organisations to boost their trades.’’
The vice president however advised physically challenged persons against begging, and urged them to take up various trades to enable them earn a better living.
The club donated wheelchairs and other gift items to some of the physically challenged persons present at the occasion.
