The study also examined whether retirement counselling predicted retirement plan among civil servants and gender difference in retirement plan among civil servants. The descriptive research design of the survey type was used in this study. The population for this study consisted of all civil servants in Ekiti State, Nigeria.

A self-designed research instrument tagged "Retirement Counselling and Plan Questionnaire (RCPQ)" was used to collect relevant data for the study. The data collected through the instrument was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that levels of retirement counselling and retirement plan were low. It was also revealed that retirement counselling is related to retirement plan. It was further revealed that male and female civil servants have the same plan towards retirement. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that the government should organize pre-retirement counselling at intervals for civil servants in the course of their service years.
