Alarm Over 50,000 Homeless Former Railway Workers

In a statement to [Tribune Online](https://tribuneonlineng.com), the Association of Nigeria Railway Senior Citizens (ANRSC) expressed deep concern about the situation of over 50,000 former railway workers who are currently homeless. The ANRSC, an association for retired railway workers, emphasized the urgent need for the federal government to address this distressing issue. According to the association, many of these workers have been rendered destitute despite their years of dedicated service to the Nigerian Railway Corporation. This situation, the ANRSC contends, is not only a violation of the workers’ rights but also a severe indictment on the government’s welfare policies. The association’s plea highlights the plight of these former railway workers, many of whom have spent their entire careers on the railway lines only to end up without a roof over their heads. This story matters to Nigerian readers because it sheds light on the challenges faced by retirees in Nigeria and underscores the need for better post-retirement welfare policies.
