The Association of Lawyers with Disabilities in Nigeria (ALDIN) extends its warmest congratulations to our learned colleague, Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan, on his well-deserved appointment as the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
ALDIN describes the appointment as a testament to Chief Gufwan’s dedication and expertise in advocating for the rights and empowerment of Persons With Disabilities (PWDs). His experience as the Executive Director of the Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre, Jos, and his legal background make him an exceptional fit for this role.
