My dear Nigerians

My dear Nigerians,

Today, April 2nd, is World Autism Awareness Day, a time to recognize and celebrate individuals on the autism spectrum. Autism is not a limitation; rather, it is a different way of experiencing the world.

On April 4th, I will lend my voice in support of the 7KM Autism Awareness Walk taking place at Monolisa Park, R.B. Dikko Road, Central Business District, Abuja, alongside the Ria By Maria Autism Foundation team (@rbm_foundation).

This initiative serves as a timely reminder that nation-building is not solely about infrastructure and economics; it is also about how we care for the most vulnerable among us. Promoting autism awareness, ensuring early diagnosis, and creating inclusive support systems are essential for building a compassionate and productive society.

I commend the organizers for their commitment to advocacy and meaningful community impact. I encourage residents of Abuja and beyond to participate, support, and amplify this important cause.

A better nation is possible when we leave no one behind. -PO
