The sky is a wide space where galaxies of stars operate in their dedicated spaces without colliding with each other and their emission of rays brighten the hemisphere.
Kpakpando is the star and that’s the title given to Sen. Osita Izunaso, by his multitude of admirers, the star not only of Orlu zone, but of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Sen. Osita Izunaso, who is the grand patron of People Living with Disabilities, PLWD, in Nigeria, and a United Nations award winner as champion of the affairs of people living with Disabilities, has continued to show his legislative prowess in drawing attention of authorities towards the welfare of People Living with Disabilities.
At a committee of the Senate while screening a nominee from the president, Barr. Osita Izunaso remarked that an Act of the national Assembly earlier enacted in 2018 provided that every employment both in the private and public sectors and distribution of essential provisions such as palliatives and social safety intervention initiatives should as a.matter of constitutional provision, cede 5% to the people living with Disabilities.
The distinguished Senator emphasized that the program of conditional cash transfer proposed by the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should as well ensure that minimum of 5% goes to the physically challenged in the attempt to cover 15 million homes equitably.
Sen. Osita Izunaso of Imo West Senatorial District has continued to glow like a million shining stars in the firmament of Nigerian political space and the red Chambers of the national Assembly.
