President MUHMMADU BUHARI has directed state governments to domesticate the Disability Act to make the establishment of the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities perform its responsibility.

The President made this known when he hosted members of the newly established commission, led by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, SADIYA UMAR FAROUQ, at the State House in Abuja.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, GARBA SHEHU, said President BUHARI praised some governors for enacting laws on disability and instructed those who have not, to do the needful.

The President also expressed joy that the commission was in place, as it was among vital issues he spoke about during his campaigns.
