Following an alleged incident of discrimination at Lagos Airport outlet, KFC Nigeria has apologized to Adebola Daniel, the son of Senator Gbenga Daniel. The fast-food chain expressed deep regret for the distress caused and pledged to address the issue.
Bringing Attention and Taking Action
Adebola Daniel shared his experience, highlighting the alleged discrimination he faced due to his disability. The Mission for the Vulnerable and Displaced Citizens (MIVUDI-Citizens), a registered charity led by Nashak Daya, applauds the strong advocacy efforts of the Beautiful Gates Foundation. Their voice, led by Hon. Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan, was instrumental in bringing this incident to light.
MIVUDI-Citizens Recognizes Collaborative Action
MIVUDI-Citizens also recognizes the swift and decisive action taken by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). Shutting down the KFC outlet sent a clear message of non-tolerance for discrimination at the airport. This action, alongside the advocacy of the Beautiful Gates Foundation, undoubtedly played a significant role in holding KFC accountable.
Looking Forward
While MIVUDI-Citizens applauds KFC's apology and commitment to inclusion training, they urge the company to ensure such incidents never repeat. Furthermore, MIVUDI-Citizens advocates for the broader principle of equal treatment for all, regardless of disability.
