In plain language

It honors Ego Mang Nwokeka Ndukwe, describing her leadership in the Nigerian and Igbo-American communities and her long record of disability advocacy, including co-founding Another Chance Customized Services, a Decatur rehabilitation center, and the American Coalition of Africans with disABILITIES. The resolution also notes her work donating medical equipment to a hospital in Abiriba, Nigeria, and founding Another Chance Nigeria to support disabled individuals there. The House formally recognizes and commends her for her public service and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
