The CEO OF Baggies Exchange Services Limited, Ehonre Oluwaseun, has empowered physically challenged persons to mark his birthday.
He offered different skills training through the La Mode Magazine Disability Foundation.
He said the gesture was to make living better for them.
His words: ‘’ I love to give back and impact lives positively and to add significantly to humanity. I feel fulfilled when I contribute my part to humanity. Empowering persons with disabilities will go a long way in adding to the economy and better their lives as more persons with disabilities will be independent and self employed if empowered.
“In addition, I will like to say persons with disabilities should not be looked down upon or discriminated against as they are great asset to the country not a liability if empowered and given all the support they need to succeed’’.
