Lai Mohammed assured them adding that, “this will not apply to only the Nigerian Television Authority. Whether public or private television stations, they must comply with the directive. This directive will work both ways. It means the complaint of exclusion will be tackled and the persons with disability of hearing will also be included in programmes and policies of the government.” Information Guide Nigeria
According to OLORISUPERGAL, this was a response to a complaint by Monsurat Abdulwasiu, a former leader of the women’s wing of the association of the deaf.
Monsurat Abdulwasiu who was speaking through an interpreter, “Only the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, has a sign language interpreter during one of its news hours. In the other media platforms, there are no sign language interpreters. Even in the healthcare sector, no sign language in Nigerian hospitals.
“So, what happens to deaf people when they are reading news, and when they are sick and go to hospital. Does it mean that we are not entitled to information and healthcare? The government needs to look into this”.
