Labour and Productivity Minister Chris Ngige said in Abuja that a circular to this effect would be sent to all ministries and parastatals soon.
Ngige said that already, he had given agencies under his ministry clear directives toward the implication of the policy.
Ngige, who spoke during the 16th-anniversary celebration of KPAKPANDO Foundation for persons living with disabilities, said the implementation of the policy was part of the effort of the Buhari Administration to impact all Nigerians.
The Minister said that the Federal Government was totally committed to making life more meaningful to the less privileged people in the society.
He said the Labor ministry would also support the Kpakpando Foundation in
providing materials and cash for persons with disabilities.
The Minister commended Senator Osita Izunaso, Founder of Kpakpando Foundation for his consistency in supporting and funding the wellbeing of persons with disabilities for the past 16 years.
Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi who was the Chairman of the occasion said his state had established a commission to cater for the physically challenged.
