Abstract
Summary The World Confederation for Physical Therapy has identified roles for physiotherapy in the care of older people. However, most African countries, like Nigeria are yet to come up with well-defined programmes for elderly care. A picture of the present status of older people in Nigeria is presented, based on available information. A few approaches are suggested towards getting physiotherapy to play a role in improving the quality of life of the elderly in Nigeria.
