Friends of the Deaf International Foundation has praised Lagos State Government for being at the forefront of promoting Inclusive Education through Lagos State Universal Basic Education and enjoined other States in Nigeria to emulate this kind gesture towards children with disabilities even as they request for more Inclusive schools.

The foundation gave the commendation at the third edition of her Inclusive Spelling Bee event, held on 14th of June, in commemoration of their 7th anniversary and the 40th birthday celebration of the Founder of the foundation - Mrs Funmilola Arike Ogunro.

Funmi stated that in the Inclusive Spelling Bee stems out of passion to help children with special needs gain access to schools near home. She mentioned that the event was organised to celebrate diversity and promote equitable education for all children, regardless of disability, in order to reduce the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
