Augustine Onwuamaegbu

Founder & President

Persons With Disability Initiative Nigeria (PWDN) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving persons with disabilities across Nigeria. As a polio survivor, I have always had the passion to help in my own little way in the advocacy and promotion of equity for persons with disability, giving meaning to their lives through skill-driven empowerment for positive contributions to society and humanity.

I am passionate about helping persons with disabilities to live a life of dignity, self-worth, honour and fulfillment in Nigeria and beyond.

PWDN is passionately focused, value-driven and committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities in Nigeria are exposed to unique and life-changing opportunities to gain knowledge and adopt strategic approaches to surviving in our ever dynamic world full of challenges to daily living.

Together, we are building an inclusive Nigeria where every person with disability has equal opportunities to thrive, contribute, and achieve their full potential.
