Economic hardship: Priscilla Otti distributes palliatives to mentally ill in Abia

Priscilla Otti, wife of Alex Otti, governor of Abia, says the government has plans to rehabilitate the mentally ill in the state.

She said this during her visit to Amaudo Integrated Community Mental Health Foundation to distribute palliatives.

Priscilla said the measure is aimed at easing the prevailing economic hardship confronting the people.

As a norm, a worship service is organised to welcome visitors to the mental home.

The Abia first lady said she believes that her support in the area of skills acquisition and welfare will help improve the lives of the mentally challenged.

Priscilla added that the Alex Otti administration will always prioritise the welfare of vulnerable persons.
