Can The Blind Lead Nigeria? by presharthur(m): 8:15am On Feb 23, 2016
The Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari has
appointed a visually impaired man, Dr. Samuel
Ankeli, as his Senior Special Assistant with
responsibility for his dealings with persons
living with disability in the country
{ Nigeria } .
Dr. Ankeli headed the Directorate of Persons
with Disability at the Buhari/Osinbajo APC
presidential campaign headquarters, the first
of any such department in a political party in
Nigeria.
He led a team that successfully mobilised a
large number from the more than 24 million
disabled persons in the country to support
the All Progressives Congress candidate and
his running mate during the 2015 presidential
election campaign.
Dr. Ankeli, who hails from Benue State, went
to school in Giwa, near Zaria and Kaduna,
afterwards headed to the Ahmadu Bello
University to study veterinary medicine.
He worked with the Benue State government
before quitting to give time to his activist
role in the promotion of the well-being of the
blind and people with all kinds of disability.
Dr. Samuel Inalegwu Ode Ankeli is married
with children as well as leads a very active
religious and sporting life.
