THE Christian Mission for the Deaf Nigeria (CMDN) has sent a distress call to the Nigeria government as well as private sector, to help build a future for the deaf in the society.
Making this call yesterday was the chairman, Board of Trustees of the CMDN, Elder Silas Ngozi Eke, on the occasion of land dedication and launching for the Deaf Centre in Ibadan.
He stated that CMDN “is a project initiated by the deaf for the deaf and run by the deaf, and we aim to make sure that no deaf begs on our roads, but rather develop them to make their meaningful contributions to the development of our nation.”
Silas added that “CMDN was founded by a black American Deaf, Late Dr. Andrew Fosken, in 1960 for the wholistic development of the deaf irrespective of religion or ethnic origin. The mission founded in Ibadan had people coming from Ethiopia, Togo, Ghana and other African countries.
“At our centre at Onireke, Ibadan, we teach them useful skills and trade, and we have produced deaf computer programmers. “
