Amnesty International has paid a visit to the National Commission for Persons With Disabilities (NCPWD), marking the first step in a collaborative effort to promote, protect, and prioritize the rights of persons with disabilities in Nigeria.
The visit, which took place on Thursday, 6 November 2025, focused on mapping out key areas of human rights concern affecting persons with disabilities across the country.
Speaking during the meeting, Dr. Ayuba Burki Gufwan, Executive Secretary of the Commission, alongside his management team, reaffirmed their commitment to building strategic collaborations aimed at safeguarding and enhancing the rights of people with disabilities.
The partnership between Amnesty International and NCPWD will focus on combating discrimination, ensuring inclusivity, and creating equal rights and opportunities for persons with disabilities, strengthening their participation in all facets of Nigerian society.

The initiative is expected to serve as a model for human rights advocacy, reinforcing Nigeria’s commitment to upholding the dignity and equality of persons with disabilities.
