About Inclusion Post

Inclusion Post is a Nigerian publication covering the lives of persons with disabilities. We report the news, the rights stories, the government decisions, the court cases, and the everyday and remarkable things Nigerians with disabilities do. People with disabilities are the sources and subjects of our reporting, not objects of pity or outside commentary.

The publication was founded in August 2025 by Chikwado Raphael Chukwu, a web accessibility and assistive technology consultant. He started it because the stories that shape the lives of persons with disabilities in Nigeria, an arrest, a new state commission, a law that exists on paper but not in practice, were either going unreported or being told by people who weren’t in the room.

What we cover

Our reporting runs across a few clear areas.

News is the day’s events, who did what, where, and when, reported straight.

Disability Rights & Advocacy covers rights violations, arrests, harassment, protests, and legal fights. When someone’s rights are denied, we report who did it, to whom, and what happened next.

Policy & Government follows the commissions, ministries, and institutions whose decisions affect millions of Nigerians with disabilities, the laws passed, the bodies created, and the gap between what’s promised and what’s delivered.

Stories & Voices is where a person’s own story leads, a profile, a first-person account, a life that deserves more than a passing mention.

Assistive Technology and Web Accessibility cover the tools and access that decide whether a Nigerian with a disability can learn, work, bank, and live independently. Web accessibility, whether persons with disabilities can actually use the sites and services everyone else takes for granted, is a lane few local outlets cover and one our founder works in directly.

AI & Inclusion looks at how artificial intelligence is reaching persons with disabilities in Nigeria, where it helps, where it shuts people out, and what’s being built without us in mind.

Education, Health, Business, and Career & Opportunity cover the schools, clinics, workplaces, and openings that shape daily life, reported plainly and without scaremongering.

Legal and Politics track the courts and the power, the rulings, the bills, and the decisions made in our name.

Foreign Stories brings in disability news from outside Nigeria when it matters here, and we ground it in local context rather than just lifting it.

How we report

We hold our reporting to a simple standard. We tell you who said what. Every claim that isn’t plainly observable is tied to a source, a named person, a document, a court ruling, or the outlet we’re citing.

We report allegations as allegations and facts as facts, and we always say who is making a claim. When we name someone accused of wrongdoing, we seek the other side’s response. Where we couldn’t get it, we say so rather than pretend the gap isn’t there.

We don’t invent quotes, dates, names, or figures. If we can’t confirm something, we tell you it’s unconfirmed instead of dressing it up. We would rather flag a hole in a story than fill it with something that might be wrong. When we get something wrong, we correct it and say what changed.

How we use AI

We’re a small publication and we use AI tools the way a newsroom uses a spellchecker or a transcription tool, to help with the work. We do not publish AI as journalism. Every story is reported, written, and checked by a person, run through our own writing standards, and held to the sourcing rules above. The judgment, the facts, and the words are ours.

How we write about disability

The way you describe a person shapes how readers see them. We default to person-first language, “a person with a disability,” “a blind man,” “a deaf lawyer,” and we follow a person’s own stated preference when they have one.

We don’t use language that pities or that turns people into inspiration props. Nobody here “suffers from” a condition, is “confined to a wheelchair,” or “overcomes the odds.” We report what a person actually did and let it stand.

We’re careful about naming someone’s disability in stories about crime or controversy. We don’t put it in a headline or an opening line unless it’s directly relevant to what happened. A person’s disability is not the reason for their arrest, and we don’t write as though it is.

Who runs this

Inclusion Post is founded and by Chikwado Raphael Chukwu, the Executive Director of Disability Rights Protection Initiative (DRP Initiative) and a web accessibility & assistive technology consultant. He built this publication to put Nigerians with disabilities at the center of the stories about their own lives.
