Abia Government Clears Air on Senior Centre
The Abia State Government has explained that the Abia State Senior Citizens Centre is not a platform for sharing free cash, but a planned support system for older residents.
The clarification comes amid public misunderstanding about the purpose of the initiative.
Officials said the centre is designed to provide care, proper coordination of services and a safe space where senior citizens can feel valued.
It is part of a wider welfare effort aimed at improving the quality of life for elderly people across the state.
According to the government, the programme focuses on dignity, inclusion and structured assistance rather than direct money handouts.
Services are expected to cover health support, social engagement and guidance tailored to the needs of senior citizens.
The state urged residents to view the centre as a long term social support project, not a cash scheme, stressing that the goal is to build a caring system that protects and respects the elderly.
