Lawyer Advocates for Enforcement of Disability Laws for the Blind in Nigeria

Olayinka Komolafe, a lawyer and disability rights advocate, has called on the Nigerian Federal and state governments to enforce disability laws, improve accessible infrastructure, and promote the inclusion of visually impaired persons in governance and economic activities. Speaking at an event in Abeokuta to commemorate the 2026 International White Cane and Safety Day, Komolafe emphasized that the major challenge facing visually impaired Nigerians is not blindness itself but the institutional and environmental barriers restricting their independence.
