2022
Even the rains didn't stop us from embarking on the Accessibility Walk. It's been a rainy week in the Atlantic city of Lagos and the clouds are still heavy. Local Guides defiled the early morning precipitation to converge on Lagos Island, all for the good of the special citizens - differently enabled.
LGs started arriving quite early. We had a brief dialogue on what accessibility entails and the need to have relevant information on the go. The local guides programme and Google Map features were further explained to some new attendees to enable them understand the essence of Meet ups.
We had three new LGs attend their first meetup and it was an engaging experience as we got to know one another.
From the famous CSS Bookshop we commenced our walk towards the Custom Street. You could see some of the historic buildings that made up the CBD of the former capital of Nigeria.
Sadly, almost all the buildings didn't have an accessible trail except for renovated structures.
Then came the rains, we retreated back to CSS Bookshop where we had other LGs join us. We decided to change our route due to the rains.
After the brief walk, we took shelter inside one of the fast food outlets on Broad Street. We had soft drinks and doughnut while socializing.
With a short closing remark, we dispersed to different parts of Lagos to meet again sooner. 😊
