People with disabilities have been asked to have self-belief and refuse to allow their situation to become a barrier to their progress.
Mr. Kwabena Okyere Kusi, the New Juaben Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), said they should do more to become economically self-supporting.
He was inaugurating the municipal branch of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled in Koforidua.
He encouraged them to learn trades and skills that would make them employable, to enable them to live their dreams.
“It is important to think outside the box to create jobs for themselves and others.”
Mr. Kusi gave the assurance that the municipal assembly would continue to create opportunities for everybody to lift themselves from poverty.
The Eastern Regional Chairman of the Society, Mr. Daniel Agyekum, said it would work to give voice and provide protection for the physically challenged.
