A new study released by the UN backed Help Age International advocacy group, has ranked Nigeria among the worst countries in the world in providing care for elderly people.
Out of 91 countries, Nigeria ranked 85, with a poor record of catering for the well-being of the elderly, people older than 60. This reflects its limited pension coverage, at 5 per cent and poor health care. It also ranks second lowest regionally, at 76, in the enabling environment domain, with only 53% of older Nigerians enjoying civic freedom.
