Sir David Osunde Foundation, says no fewer than 1,500 Persons With Disability (PWD), drawn from across the country, will be empowered at its 31st Edition of Special Easter Monday celebration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Chairman, Local Organising Committee, Mr Ikem Uchegbulam, made this known at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He said that there would be skills acquisition programmes, scholarships and support materials like wheelchairs and crutches among others for PWDs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The chairman said that the aim is to impact them spiritually, materially and meet their basic welfare.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe six-hour event will hold on April 10 at the Holy Family Society National Pilgrimage Centre at Gosa, Sabin-Lugbe in Abuja at noon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event will begin with a mass, to be celebrated by the Arch Bishop of Abuja Diocese, Bishop Ignatious Kaigama, and John Cardinal John Onayiekan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, is the guest of honour and Mrs Geogiana Ogbutor is Mother of the Day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Organising Secretary, Mr Mallam Muazu, said that the foundation is not a Christian institution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He said though Easter is a Christian event, the celebration cuts across all religions, saying that 90 per cent of the beneficiaries are Muslims.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Muazu said that what has kept the foundation going in the past 31 years was consistency, truthfulness and togetherness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
