The president of the African Paralympic Committee (AfPC), Samson Deen, paid a courtesy call on the high commissioner of Nigeria to Ghana, His Excellency Ifedayo Adeoye, on Friday (2 May) at the Nigerian High Commission in Accra.
The visit gave the two leaders the opportunity to discuss development and promotion of para sports in Africa and future AfPC events, including the 1st West African Para Games in Nigeria, the African Paralympic Committee General Assembly and the Open Championship in November 2025 in Accra.
The president of the regional organisation also seized the opportunity to request the Nigerian high commissioner to use his office to facilitate a second meeting between the AfPC and Her Excellency the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to brief her on pending AfPC events and to request her support.
Mrs Tinubu was given the title of Grand Patron of the African Paralympic Games and Para Sports in 2023, with the mandate to use her office to bring on board first ladies of other African nations to support promotion of disability sports and inclusion in their countries.
Welcoming the AfPC delegation, the Nigerian high commissioner said he shared the philosophy of the Paralympic Movement and commended the AfPC president for his vision in promoting inclusivity in sports on the African continent.
The high commissioner also assured the AfPC president of his support and commitment to AfPC events, and said the Nigerian first lady’s primary concern is helping women and the less privileged in society, including the disabled. Mrs Tinubu will be more than ready to receive the African delegation, His Excellency Adeoye said.
Among the other members of the AfPC delegation were Ignatius Elletey, Foster Kwarteng and Michael Obeng.
