“This conference will explore the intersection of disability, data, technology, and the future of work, showcasing policy innovations, inclusive digital solutions, and emerging assistive technologies,” he said.
For Jobberman Nigeria, the partnership reflects its commitment to promote inclusive growth and enabling persons with disabilities (PWDs) to thrive in the evolving labour market.
Olamide Adeyeye, country head of programmes at Jobberman, shared their enthusiasm: “We are excited to partner with Project Enable Africa in advancing inclusion as we collectively reimagine the future of work for marginalized populations, especially persons with disabilities.”
The AbilityX Conference is poised to become an influential platform for driving sustainable partnerships, strengthening disability leadership, and positioning Nigeria as a leader in disability-inclusive innovation.
