Children are a priceless blessing from God. They represent the future of every nation.

As we commemorate this year's children's day, ICAD wishes to call on all of us to join hands in making Nigeria more just to, and inclusive of children with disabilities.

Happy Children's Day.

In 2025, we flagged off the ICAD Short Story on Disability and Social Justice Prize. The initiative was conceived to encourage writers with disabilities to share their experiences, while serving as a platform for refining their skills in creative writing.

The platform is equally available for writers without disabilities to share their stories of disability as members of the society who, together with their counterparts with disabilities, are active witnesses of history.

It is with immense happiness therefore, that we announce the release of our first anthology of short stories on disability and social justice titled The Stars I See.

We sincerely appreciate all the contributors and other stakeholders who made this anthology a reality.

All contributors and those who are interested in getting copies should reach out to Asmau Abdullahi Tanko.

Hello friends, happy new year!

Last year we had an exciting engagement at our 1st Disability, Culture and Development (DCD) where we revisited foundational understanding (s) of disability in African Cultures.

This year, we are happy to announce that the 2nd edition of the conference will focus on understanding the intersection of disability, culture and public health in Africa.

As the days go by, we encourage scholars, students, policy makers, public health experts and members of the general public interested in disability and public health discourse to send in their abstracts.

Thank you as we anticipate your submissions.

Good News!

During our advocacy visit to the Vice Chancellor of Bayero University Kano, Prof. Haruna Musa, and members of the university management in September this year, the V.C, after hearing directly from the experiences of students with disabilities in our team, pledged the commitment of the university to inclusive education.

We are happy to share that Bayero University Kano has launched an ICT centre for visually impaired students in the university. This was one of the issues discussed in September.

Also, the V.C and his team are currently working on another major promise which will further consolidate his commitment to inclusive education.

Thank you sir!

Performers at our DCD conference opening were so on fire that some audiences stayed back and pleaded for more.
