Welcome
Welcome to the web site of the Stuttering
Association of Nigeria (SAN). This is a non-commercial web site.
Neither SAN nor its members receive revenues from the operation
of this web site. The SAN website was established by Mr Adeyemi
Akintunde.
After Mr Adeyemi Akintunde attended the first African Stuttering
conference in Douala, Cameroon in October 2005, he sat down and
thought of the establishment of SAN website. During the next couple
of weeks, a working prototype of the website was created. Mr Akintunde
placed the general information of aims, objectives and other contributions
of SAN on the website for public access.The SAN web site has been
up and running since November 2005 and is constantly being upgraded
and updated. Adeyemi has maintained the site since then.
The objective of the SAN web site is to provide people who stutter,
their family and friends, speech-language pathologists, academics,
students and members of the general public with information on stuttering
resources available both in Nigeria and abroad. In addition to providing
information on stuttering from international sources, one of the
principal mandates of the SAN web site is to feature Nigerian content.
We welcome submissions for our
web site. Please direct any submissions to the info@stutteringnigeria.org

WARNING
We would like to inform all visitors that this is the first
originally recognized arrangement for stuttering in Nigeria and
we are duly registered with the corporate affairs commission Abuja
which is the accrediting body for legalizing all associations in
Nigeria.
There are lots of unregistered and pretentious stuttering in Nigeria,
some of whom impersonate the stuttering association of Nigeria and
are into credit card irregularities and other illegal activities.
They use forgery of official specimen stationery, letterheads, stamps,
seals and specimen signatures of the top officials and accountants
in any establishment or organization to obtain account numbers,
e.t.c. |
