United Nigeria Airlines Supports Visually Impaired Singers at Competition

United Nigeria Airlines has demonstrated its commitment to inclusion by supporting young visually impaired singers at the 'Henrotion in Expression' event in Port Harcourt. The airline co-sponsored the blind segment of the competition, which saw Sarima Owhur, also known as Sari Wonder, win a N100,000 cash prize for her vocal performance.

Vision Rehab Centres, especially privately-owned ones, require a lot of funding. For those of them whose parents are not able to take care of them, we look for funding to put them in school, and we also teach them vocations. We have a low vision arm where we train eye care workers. We train them to do what everyone else can do; we teach them all the skills they need to make a living. We want them to be able to blend in properly.

Dr. Adedayo Adio, founder of the Vision Rehab Centre, praised the winner and highlighted the need for funding for privately-owned centers that support individuals with disabilities. He explained that these centers provide educational and vocational training to help them become self-sufficient.

Uche Magbo, the Port Harcourt Station Manager for United Nigeria Airlines, presented the award. He emphasized the airline's belief that true inclusion means giving a voice to the often-overlooked. "We watched young people living with disabilities show us that talent has no limits and that vision is not a requirement for greatness," Magbo stated, underscoring the airline's pride in supporting such initiatives.

At the weekend, we watched young people living with disabilities show us that talent has no limits and that vision is not a requirement for greatness. This is why we are proud to stand behind initiatives like this one.
