they hopefully have many years of active life ahead of them. However, the change from a work situation, to one
where there is no structure and nobody telling employees what to do can be the biggest changes of an
employee’s lives, and they have to be prepared. Offering the retirees a preretirement education is a major way to
see to the betterment of the retirement of employees. This study endeavor to determine the role of preretirement
education on the satisfaction of post retirement lives of Nigerian insurance industry retirees using selected
insurance firms as case study. A research questionnaire was used to elicit information from retirees of the
Nigerian insurance industry. Three (3) hypothetical statement were formulated and tested using one sample ttest on SPSS version 20. The study found that there is a greater financial and economic security among
employees who were offered preretirement education by their various employers before retirement, as they have
