“We are not surprised because the government has never failed to carry credible and good spirited individuals and groups along at anytime. We are really related with this #Ability Games and I strongly believe it could be bigger and better. We have benefitted from the government commitment to social development and empowerment of people living with disability”, summarized Lawal as sports men and women with disability featured in Athletics, Shot Put, Wheel Chair Tennis , Table tennis, Cycling, Chess, Ayo and blind football at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.
