Abstract                                                                                                                                

Retirement education is an educative programme that equips retirees with awareness of self reliance. This paper therefore, attempts to rationalise the need for repositioning adult literacy education for effective service delivery of retirement education programmes in Nigeria. Conceptual clarification of adult education programme with special interest in literacy education programme was provided. An overview of retirement education programmes, its various forms, and challenges in Nigeria were further articulated. The paper concludes by advocating a review of the Universal Basic Education act to accommodate the effective integration of literacy education programme for effective service delivery of retirement education programmes.
