FG To Direct All TV Stations To Use Sign Language Interpreters | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed says all television stations in Nigeria will be directed to start using sign language interpreters.

Lai stated this on Thursday at the 2021 annual lecture organised by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in partnership with the Albino Foundation and the European Union (EU).

The minister was reacting to a complaint by Monsurat Abdulwasiu, a former leader of the women’s wing of the association of the deaf.

Speaking through an interpreter, Abdulwasiu complained about how persons with disabilities have suffered exclusion as they only watch news programmes without understanding the message.

She said: “Only the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has a sign language interpreter during one of its news hours. In the other media platforms, there are no sign language interpreters. Even in the healthcare sector, no sign language in Nigerian hospitals,”

“So, what happens to deaf people when they are reading news, and when they are sick and go to hospital. Does it means that we are not entitled to information and healthcare? The government needs to look into this.”

Responding to the complaint, Lai said: “I am very touched by the contribution of the young lady who said there is a  need for sign interpreters during the network news and other major news belts,”

“I am going to ask the NBC to direct all our television stations to ensure that there are sign interpreters in all television stations during their major news hours.

“This will not apply to only the Nigerian Television Authority. Whether public or private television stations, they must comply with the directive.

“This directive will work both ways. It means the complaint of exclusion will be tackled and the persons with disability of hearing will also be included in programmes and policies of government.”
