A Non-Governmental Organisation, Collins Cocodia Foundation (CCF), has promised to donate wheelchairs and crutches to no fewer than 12 women living with disabilities in Bayelsa State.

CFF also promised to pay NECO fees for five physically challenged females in the state.

Speaking during an advocacy visit to women living with disabilities organised by Do Foundation at the Sports Complex in Yenagoa over the weekend, the Chairman of CCF, Chief Collins Cocodia, said the gesture was to alleviate the suffering of People Living With a Disability (PLWD).

According to him, three out of the 12 will be presented with wheelchairs, four will receive crutches, while the NECO fees will be paid for the remaining five.
