Preservarance & Fortitude
NAB is a national organisation in Nigeria for persons who are blind or visually impaired. It is one of the โcluster associationsโ under the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) which is the umbrella body for disabilityโorganisations in Nigeria.
OUR CORE VALUES

A Vision of Inclusion
At NAB, we believe that every individual who is blind or visually impaired has the right to live a life of independence, purpose and fulfilment. Our vision is of a society where barriers, physical, social and attitudinal, have been dismantled; where technology, education, policy and community converge to create equal opportunity.

Our Promise and Purpose
We are dedicated to:
- Collaborating with Government, NGOs, private sector, and international partners to turn policy into practice.
- Advocating tirelessly for full inclusion of persons with blindness in all spheres of life, education, employment, civic engagement, culture.
- Ensuring that access to mobility, Braille, assistive devices and inclusive technologies is not a privilege, but a standard.
- Building awareness across Nigeria, so that the broader society recognises and values the contributions of blind persons.

Looking Forward
As we navigate the challenges ahead, be they resource constraints, infrastructural hurdles or societal misconceptions, we do so with hope, with resilience and with a clear sense of purpose. Our upcoming programmes, training workshops, awareness campaigns and inclusive technology initiatives reflect this momentum.
About us
Nigeria Association of the Blind (NAB) was registered and incorporated under Section 5(II) of the Land Perpetual Act. Chap. 98 of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1968.
