I have been carrying out a bit of research of recent as regards the fate of disable nigerians from the scratch through to tertiary level. Most especially, considering the fact that I have a junior brother who is deaf and dumb but very much intelligent and technically talented; I mean witout being apprenticed at any workshop, he fixes all appliances at home, profers solution to almost all technical problems in the house.
Realising how talented he is, I am obliged to ensure the realization of his potentials and his ability to stand fit and financially stable on his own in the nearest future. But right now, my headache is how I can get a sound technical tertiary institution for him considering the fact that he will soon be through with secondary school (for the disable). I really need to have a plan on ground for him as regards life after secondary school. Is there any provision for this kind of people in nigeria(or beyond) at the tertiary level? Is there any grant made available for them? Opinions needed please.

As regards to abroad, there are plenty. Google is your friend.

In Nigeria,no provison for now and no law for people with disabilities.

Abroad,be rest assured,he would get comfort,study well and develop his potentials.

God bless you bro.
