ABOUT NIGERIA NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND

Following the non-existence of a coherent national organization in Nigeria, Dr. David Matthew invited some blind persons drawn from many states of the federation for a meeting which held in Iyale, Kogi State, Nigeria in the month of August 1990.

Bored by the ceremonial way and manner the affairs of blind persons were being toyed with in the country, this organization was formed and incorporated in 2001. Our motto is: PROGRESS, INDEPENDENCE and EQUALITY.

Since  her inception, The Commonwealth Society for the Blind has sponsored the purchase of over 200 mobility canes, two Perkins Braillers, Braille paper, some tape recorders and cassette blanks for usage by member in 1992. The organization has been sensitizing members, government and the general public on the needs and aspirations of persons with visual impairments in Nigeria.
