This is an issue to be pursued through your own country's governmental system. We can't help you here at all. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.
If you're still living in Nigeria, I think I would start there, by contacting any local hospitals, care centers for elderly (if they exist), and creating a coalition that also includes local businesspeople and elected officials. Again, I would consider the WHO's assistance.
Just thinking about this, I think it would be helpful to create a group that is representative of various aspects of Nigerian health and medicine, and find some strong, reliable backers, including health care corporations that might not be Nigerian in origin, but multi-country in application.
Have you gathered statistics on elderly (a) in homes (b) living with relatives (c) in hospitals and (d) other relevant living places? Do you have statistics on elderly who are or aren't getting any help? (I know nothing of Nigerian health so I can't offer specific suggestions, just general ones.)
Is there a Red Cross presence in your area of Nigeria?
JoAnn's right; I doubt there are more than a few here who might have insight into Nigerian or African health care for elders, but if you can describe what currently exists and your interim and long term goals, that might be a starting point.
And congratulations for undertaking such a challenging goal.
If you are looking for financial support, you will not find it here. We are a Caregiving forum of people sharing our experiences trying to help each other. We are basically from the US but do have Canadians and those from the UK.
If not financial support, its hard for us to give suggestions when the US is so much different from other countries in their healthcare and help for the elderly. You would need to ask specific questions.
If the information on this site is legitimate, you have quite a list of accomplishments:
