Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative (BRMI) celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
At BRMI, we believe that persons with disabilities are not defined by their limitations but by their abilities, talents, and potential. We proudly stand with all differently abled persons in advocating for a society where everyone has equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive.
As an organization committed to humanitarian action, social inclusion, and sustainable development, promoting the rights, dignity, and empowerment of persons with disabilities remains one of our core priorities. We are dedicated to supporting their meaningful participation in leadership, decision-making, employment, education, and governance, while advocating for policies that remove barriers to inclusion.
We commend the Benue State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, for commemorating the 2025 International Day of Persons with Disabilities and for the passage of the Benue State Disability Rights Law (2025). This landmark legislation demonstrates a commitment to protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of persons with disabilities across the state.
BRMI calls on government at all levels, development partners, civil society organizations, and the private sector to make disability inclusion a priority by ensuring that persons with disabilities are represented in leadership, policy formulation, employment, education, healthcare, and all aspects of public life.
Together, we can build a Benue where every person—regardless of ability—is respected, included, empowered, and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
