Nigerian Government has not done much for the senior citizens. The Federal, State and Municipal governments are responsible for taking care of the health and social needs of the elderly people, especially those who have served and paid tax during their active years in advanced countries.

Almost all tribes in Nigeria is of the ideology that the children should take care of their parents when they grow old, however, our present state no longer encourage culture and tradition as everyone want to move to the cities, engage in a white collar job and live in a modern society.

My argument therefore is that government should promote programs that will enable elderly people to have access to Care while living in their own home instead of dumping them in a nursing home.

We have many International examination bodies that train "Elderly Care Givers" among them is the City & Guilds of London Institute UK with centres in Lagos, Ibadan and other states across Nigeria.

Our Government should create a program that will employ these qualified Care Givers for the purpose of taking care of the senior citizens who might require support in their own home to enjoy old age.

I welcome any support towards making this a reality in Nigeria!
