News: Group harps on bursary for PWDs in tertiary institutions - a podcast by MAP MEDIA

Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, an NGO, has appealed to the Federal and State Governments to award bursary to students with disability in tertiary institutions.

Rev. Sister Fidelia Unigwe, the National Coordinator of Child Empowerment Programme of the organisation, made the appeal in Abuja during the NGO's ``Disability Learning Exchange" programme.

She said that the exchange programme was organised for the NGO's local partners, persons with disabilities (PWDs), Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and boards responsible for disability affairs at the State level.

According to Unigwe, the financial support, if awarded yearly, quarterly or monthly as the case may be, will reduce the challenges faced by the PWDs in their academic pursuit.
