I am a blind person from Kano state in Nigeria studying an M-Ed in Inclusive Education at the University of Manchester. I am so interested to read an exclusive interview Sunday Trust had with Salisu Ibrahim, a blind newscaster. I have been teaching in Special Education School, Tudun Maliki, Kano, for the past 11 years; therefore, I know Salisu very well, even though I did not teach him in any subject. I am so thrilled by his persistence to doing what other people might think it's impossible for a blind person to do. I will always remain critical of some men like that Frcn Kaduna director who kept using discouraging words against Salisu. I think such people should not head such an information dissem*isseminator like Frcn Kaduna. How could we ever boast that we are educated when we are devoid in human relations, especially, to those with visual impairment? I congratulate Salisu on this giant step he is taking to trumpet out to those who think blind people are only good to begging for alms on the streets that we could go beyond that to make our dear country prosper. Good luck to Salisu on his bid to working for the Bbc. If the editor wants to contact me, he/she should please call +2347833622794 or +447507305161.

Thanks.
