Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Accessibility has become a crucial consideration in event planning, with technology playing a transformative role in improving experiences for people with disabilities. In Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, Borno State, events often face challenges in ensuring inclusivity for individuals with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. Technological advancements, such as assistive devices, mobile applications, and real-time translation tools, have revolutionized the way events cater to diverse needs. According to Ibrahim and Yusuf (2024), integrating technology into event planning not only enhances accessibility but also fosters inclusivity, ensuring that everyone can participate fully. However, the adoption of such technologies in Maiduguri remains inconsistent, with limited awareness and resources impeding progress. This study explores the role of technology in enhancing accessibility for people with disabilities at events in Maiduguri, highlighting its impact, challenges, and potential solutions.
