Obaseki pledges improved healthcare, welfare for senior citizens
He said: “Our elderly citizens have contributed significantly to the growth and development of our society. They have toiled and sacrificed to build the foundation upon which our state thrives today. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure that they age gracefully, free from any form of harm, abuse, or mistreatment.
“This is why we have continued to prioritize the elderly in our plans to develop our dear State and improve the lives of our people, ensuring policies and programmes to guarantee their health, well-being and dignity.” He added, “We have ensured prompt and regular payment of pensions to our senior citizens, ending the dark days when elderly persons in the State had to queue under the sun daily lamenting over unpaid pensions and arrears.
“We are guaranteeing unlimited access to affordable and quality healthcare delivery to our elderly population through the Edo State Health Insurance Scheme, among other programmes and projects undertaken by the government to cater and protect our elderly population, ensuring that they live a fulfilling life, free from fear, discrimination, and abuse.
