 CITAD Sympathized with Kuchibuyi Community over the Abduction of their District Head and Called on the Community People  to be Security Conscious


It's with broken hearts we received the news of the abduction of Mallam Isiaka Dauda, District Head of Kuchibuyi Community, Bwari Area Council, FCT around 1am on Saturday, 16th of July, 2022.



 

Our heartfelt prayers are with the people of the Kuchibuyi community over this sad incident and call on the community people to be law abiding and be security conscious especially at this trying time. 


Kuchibuyi Community is one of the communities CITAD is implementing its Local Rights Program (LRP) with about 30 linked children. Not only that, the district head has been a great pillar and supportive towards CITAD's activities which is being supported by AAN. Mallam Isiaka has played major roles in ensuring the success of these activities implemented in his community. 



While praying for his safe return, CITAD called on the security agencies to intensify efforts in rescuing him and all other victims held captives by this barbaric peoole and called on the community people to collaborate with law enforcement agencies in providing them with all the necessary information that will help in rescuing this peace loving man.

Bridging Digital Divides: Empowering People with Special Needs and Uniting Communities Through Technology

By Abdullahi Abdulhafiz Aliyu In today’s fast-changing digital landscape, access to technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Yet, for millions of Nigerians, especially people with special needs, the digital world remains out of reach due to systemic barriers and a lack of inclusive learning opportunities. My work as a journalist and digital advocate has focused on breaking these barriers, ensuring that technology serves as a tool for empowerment rather than exclusion. Through my engagement with individuals with disabilities and as the host of Duniyar Fasaha (Fasaha World) on Unity FM, I have worked to bridge the digital divide by providing foundational digital education to marginalized groups. By introducing people with special needs to basic computer skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and internet navigation, I have witnessed firsthand how technology can unlock new opportunities and transform lives.
