by Ability News Network (ANN), April 29th, 2026
In a landmark move for disability inclusion, the National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies (NBAIS) on Monday, April 27, 2026, hosted the Nigeria National Association of the Deaf (NNAD) to discuss integrating Deaf persons into its workforce and examination systems.
The NNAD delegation, led by National President Hon. Haruna Muhammad Tsafe, paid a sensitisation visit to the Board’s headquarters in Abuja. Talks centred on creating pathways for Deaf community members to gain employment at NBAIS and ensuring its examinations are fully accessible.
To support communication and awareness, Tsafe presented the NBAIS Registrar with key NNAD publications, including a Deaf Dictionary.
The NBAIS Registrar described the engagement as “timely and impactful,” noting it was the first formal collaboration of its kind with the Deaf community. He commended NNAD’s advocacy and reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to advancing inclusivity through sustained partnership.
The meeting signals growing momentum within Nigeria’s education and public service sectors to create equitable opportunities for Deaf Nigerians and other persons with disabilities, Ability News Network reports
