Abstract
Description
The elderly persons in Nigeria are facing a lot of persistent challenges. They
live in a country which has often been described as a rich nation inhabited by
poor people. Consequently, their lives are characterized by growing
inadequacies in customary family supports, social exclusion, and non-existent
social security. This paper therefore takes an exploratory look at the debilitating
situation of the elderly ones in Nigeria and tries to proffer counselling
intervention strategies suitable for ameliorating the challenges of the aged.
