The global effort in combating Covid-19 have been successful so far amid the emergence of new strain in some parts of the world. The health impact of the pandemic in Nigeria has not been as high as anticipated; with Nigeria covid-19 death toll still among the lowest globally. The economic hardship created by the lockdown during the peak period of the pandemic is what has left most Nigerians reeling. In an economy that is still struggling to implement inclusive national employment policy both in the public and private sector prior covid-19, the rate of marginalization and exclusion of persons with disabilities have been exacerbated by the covid-19 as most employers are not keen to hire Persons with disabilities whom they view as extra burden. Many persons with disabilities have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, they can still achieve their dreams if they have various skills to be self-employed, let’s have a conversation on skills not just certificates as requirements for job engagement and employment opportunities. In commemoration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, December 03 2021, Cedar Seed Foundation organised the maiden edition of Virtual International Disability Dialogue (VIDD) via Zoom Technologies. We had over 50 leaders and speakers attended globally invited from Governments, Young Global Leaders, Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, Aliko Dangote Foundation, CSOs, Media, Policy Makers and International Development Partners. The objective of this dialogue was to examine the precarious nature and causes of the economic crisis and unemployment faced by persons with disabilities in Africa and to come up with solutions for addressing these challenges in the short term and long term.
