**Caring for Baba Ijebu at Home: Edo NAWOJ Advocates for Elderly Welfare** In a bid to ensure the elderly in Edo State receive the care and love they deserve, the Nigerian Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) Edo State chapter has issued a clarion call to individuals, corporate bodies, and government institutions to make deliberate provisions for their well-being. This advocacy comes at a time when many elderly Nigerians, including those in Edo, face numerous challenges in accessing quality healthcare, social support, and economic security. The NAWOJ Edo chapter's appeal is particularly relevant in Nigeria's current context, where the elderly population is growing rapidly, and the social safety net is often inadequate. Many elderly Nigerians struggle to make ends meet, living on meager pensions and struggling to access essential services. The situation is dire, especially in rural areas where access to healthcare and social services is often limited. The NAWOJ Edo chapter is calling on individuals, corporate bodies, and government institutions to take concrete steps to support the elderly. This can include providing financial support, offering employment opportunities, and creating accessible social services such as healthcare, education, and recreation. By doing so, the elderly can live with dignity and purpose, contributing to the social and economic development of their communities. The Edo State government, in particular, has a critical role to play in ensuring the welfare of the elderly. This can be achieved through the establishment of elderly care centers, provision of social services, and the implementation of policies that support the economic empowerment of the elderly. In a country where cultural values place a high premium on respect and care for the elderly, it is imperative that we take concrete steps to ensure their welfare. By supporting the elderly, we not only improve their quality of life but also strengthen our social fabric and promote national development. Ultimately, caring for the elderly is a collective responsibility that requires the efforts of individuals, corporate bodies, government institutions, and civil society organizations. By working together, we can create a society that values and cares for its elderly, ensuring that they live with dignity and purpose.
