According to the DG of MIDENO, Cletus Anye Matoyah, the gesture is intended to empower PWD’s through improved production and productivity in the livestock sector.

“It’s a great gesture from MIDENO and would create great impact in the livelihood of PWD’s. This will act as startup for those who were idle. Atleast this will help some of us venture into poultry farming which I can say is a very productive income generating activity with quick turnover”

Northwest Regional President for the Coordinating Unit of Associations of PWD’s, Nogning Armelle told the Press.


“I haven’t really had any sustainable job to do since my amputation years ago. I actually believe this initiative would help me to be fully engaged in poultry farming which I hear is very profitable”

Lawrence, an amputee told Upfront.

Speaking to the Press during the distribution exercise, the Service Provider, Alhadji Hamza Djibril assured beneficiaries of the quality of the birds. He added that the birds have been fully vaccinated and would be ready for consumption by mid May 2023.
