The World autism day was celebrated this year on April 2nd 2010. To mark the special day in Nigeria, PSLC in collaboration with The Golden Heart, Children Development Centre and Zarmar Institute stormed the streets of Lagos along with parents, friends, care givers and well wishers to create more awareness and enlightenment for the public on Autism. The theme of the walk was “Early Intervention is Key”.

The walk took off at about 10am from the Onikan Stadium with the awareness train moving along Amodu Bello way and stopping over at the Silverbird Galleria for a brief refreshments break and then later converging at the National Television Authority (NTA) for an interview with the Newsline Correspondent and reporters from notable print media. The Newsline crew were obviously excited about the event and interviewed some of the participants. Those interviewed include Mrs Dotun Akande (PSLC), Dr. (Mrs) Akindayomi and Mr Emuwa (Golden Heart).

All participants wore colourful branded T/shirts and were armed with fliers for distribution to the amazed public. Music was provided by a DJ to entertain and energise participants as they embarked on this historic walk. The awareness train finally berthed at The Palms Mall, Lekki much to the amusement of weekend shoppers. The thrilled shoppers at the mall were treated to colourful music and brief facts on Autism.
