Abia State marked its first-ever World Savings Day (WSD) celebration this year, 102 years after the global event began.
Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) sponsored the celebration of the 2025 edition in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, focusing on inculcating a saving culture among Nigerian children and creating public awareness on the mandate of the corporation in the financial sector.
Though the event is celebrated every October 31, the 2025 edition was celebrated in Abia on February 25, 2026 with the theme: ‘This is Not a Savings Account’, which highlighted that saving is a mindset, culture, and pathway to empowerment.
