She made the remark during a visit to the Nigeria Training Centre for the Blind and the Oyo State Special Basic School in Ogbomoso, where she donated items to support the students.
Alao-Akala said the current allocation does not reflect rising food costs and urged the government to urgently review the provision to improve the welfare of the students.
She commended the resilience and creativity of the learners, noting that their involvement in vocational activities demonstrates their ability to live independently and productively.
The former First Lady also called on Nigerians to support institutions for persons with disabilities through regular visits and donations.
Meanwhile, the Headmistress of the school urged parents not to hide children with disabilities but to enrol them in special schools for proper care and education.
Educators at the institution also stressed the importance of early enrolment, noting that timely intervention helps improve learning outcomes and overall development.
