Abia reviews policy framework for senior citizens’ welfare

The Abia State Government has completed a review of the draft policy framework for the implementation of the Abia State Senior Citizens Centre Law No. 4 of 2025. The review took place at a two-day stakeholders’ validation workshop in Umuahia, Nigeria, which concluded on Tuesday. The workshop focused on creating a strong policy for the welfare of senior citizens, aligning with the state's social protection agenda.

Dr. Victor Chima, a Social Policy Officer at the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), emphasized the importance of the ageing policy and assured continued support from UNICEF and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) for strengthening the state's social protection system.
