Nigeria is yet to enact a National Policy on the care and welfare of older persons. Since March 2003 it has remained in draft form. In the coming years, the ageing population in Nigeria is expected to increase in numbers and life expectancy rates will gradually increase with significant social and economic implications to the individuals and the Nigerian government.)
