In a groundbreaking move to improve disability care in Nigeria, non-governmental organization OAKonsult has announced the launch of OAK Centre Prime, a state-of-the-art disability care facility dedicated to providing specialized medical, educational, and rehabilitative services for children and young people with disabilities.
