Addressing the Needs of People with Disability During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The World Health Organization estimates that 15% of the world’s population has a
disability of one form or the other (WHO, 2021). With a population of approximately
1,390,000,000 people on the African continent (Worldometer, n.d.), this translates
to 220,000,000 or roughly the entire population of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous
nation.
