senior citizens of Nigeria

C.B.N. v. Amao [2010] 16 NWLR (Pt. 1219) 271 at 307, per Onnoghen, JSC (as he then was):

“…It is important for every organisation in this country, including the Appellant, to wear a human face in its treatment of the people, particularly the senior citizens, because it will be anybody’s turn tomorrow to be a senior citizen. We must re-examine our attitude towards the senior citizens of this country so as not to make them regret their sacrifice for the nation in whatever capacity.”

Notes:

His Lordship made the above statement while addressing the conduct of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) concerning some pensioners who had sued the CBN for their pension benefits. Read further details here.

This statement has remained ever green…
