The Journey Begins

Welcome Address:

It is my pleasure and happiness to be part of this celebration (International Stuttering Awareness Day, ISAD), the first ever to be marked and celebrated in Nigeria with my fellow stutterers, friends and families, speech therapists and educators.

I appreciate every effort individual has made to be present today. The Nigerian Stuttering Association (NSA), the today’s celebrant, has summoned up my courage and self-ego to deliver this message with my stuttering voice and to narrate our concerns and seek useful advice.

Dear noble guests, you are a living witness of today’s event. The event is intended not only to communicate our vision, mission and objective, but also to create massive awareness, enlighten and inform the general public about the nature of stuttering and the need for early intervention and prevention.

The Nigerian Stuttering Association is established to bridge the gap between stammerers and the general public and to improve the quality of lives of people who stutter (PWS). So, our challenge therefore is to produce a high quality information and resource- packages and make it available to you ( stutterers, parents, teachers, professionals, etc) whoever you are, wherever you live in Nigeria.

What we have done today with this first celebration of ISAD in Nigeria is to light the Candle. In subsequent events, we shall be feeding the flame.

We want you to be our pillar and beam. We expect your financial support, moral and material assistance as well as your goodwill to take us to a greater height. Indeed, NSA is a charitable organization and will provide her services free of charge to all Nigerians.

Note that Stuttering is not a DISEASE, nor is it a CRIME!

It is just a communication disorder.

The journey has just begun. Please come along with us.

Enjoy the event. Thank You
