Just as Nigeria celebrated her 53rd anniversary yesterday, a new study 
was released by the UN backed Help Age International advocacy group 
which ranked Nigeria among the worst countries in the world that 
least 
care about their old population, same day. 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.
