The National Senior Citizen Centre (NSCC) has launched a toll-free line to report abuse or violence against older persons.

The centre in partnership with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons announced a toll free number, 0800-CALLNAPTIP or 07030000203 while MTN users can dial *627#.

She emphasised that Nigerians must be intentional about stopping abuse of older persons; promoting optimistic views of aging, mobilising society in their varied sectors and building networks of support for older persons to optimise their living conditions. “Whichever way, population ageing has profound consequences for every aspect of individual, community, national and international life; positively or negatively. For the positive to occur, we must combat ageism—the negative stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination against older people,” she said.
