In a recent appeal, Nigerian retirees have called on the federal government to implement policies that will ensure their
well-being in retirement. The retirees are advocating for the provision of free healthcare services and the establishment
of old people’s homes across the country. The retirees argue that many senior citizens are unable to afford medical
expenses, leading to deteriorating health conditions. They emphasize that access to free healthcare is essential to maintain
their health and quality of life. By providing free healthcare services, the government would alleviate the financial burden on
retirees and promote healthier aging. In addition to healthcare, the retirees are advocating for the creation of old people’s
homes. These facilities would offer a safe and supportive environment for senior citizens who may not have adequate family
support. The homes would provide essential services such as housing, meals, and social activities, ensuring that retirees can live with dignity and
comfort. The federal government has acknowledged the concerns raised by retirees and is considering measures to
address these issues. While specific plans are yet to be announced, discussions are ongoing to explore feasible solutions that align with the country’s resources and priorities.
