The Director of the Centre, Prof. I. P. Onyeonoru, said the seminar was to enlighten the retirees on ‘Living Good and Well after Retirement.’
Experts urged the prospective retirees to change their perception on retirement.
Prof. D. A. Oluwole of the Department of Counselling and Human Development Studies, University of Ibadan, spoke on ‘Healthy Lifestyle in Retirement’, while Abimbola Yeshua of Yeshua Papaya Farms, Lagos spoke on ‘Viable Investment Opportunities for Retirees’, among others.
The varsity’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Kayode Adebowale, who was represented by the Dean of Students, Prof. Keye Abiona. appreciated the participants for having served the university meritoriously and prayed that they would enjoy their retirement in good health.
The Registrar, who was represented by the Deputy Registrar, Human Resources and Development (Non Teaching Staff), Stella Soola, charged the participants not to see retirement as a passport to death, but rather as a visa to better living.
She said that it was “better to live rich than to die rich”, adding that they should enjoy the fruits of their labour, rather than suffer to leave money in their accounts for their families to inherit.
Onyeonoru assured that such seminars would be held frequently for the benefit of would-be retirees.
