AnnotationNigeria's awareness of ageing issues only became apparent in the early 1980s, and with the subsequent setting up of an Interministerial Committee (IMC) on Active Ageing. The author sets out some bleak demographic statistics for Nigeria, and outlines the nature of obstacles to formulating policy on, or promoting research into ageing. This paper was first presented at the conference, "Research on Ageing, Health and Poverty in Africa: Forging Directions for the Future", hosted by the Oxford Institute of Ageing, 11-13 April 2005. (RH).
