The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) has stressed the need for employers in the private and public sector to pay more attention to the safety, health and welfare of their employees in the performance of their official assignments.
The Assistant General Manager/Branch Manager of the NSITF, Apapa, Mr. Daniel Omotayo, stated this yesterday in Lagos during the branchâs rally in commemoration of the 2021 World Safety and Health at Work Day, with the theme: âAnticipate, Prepare and Respond to the Crisis âInvest Now in Resilience Occupational Safety and Health System.â
Omotayo also stressed the need for all corporate organisations in Nigeria to queue into the Employees Compensation Scheme (ECS) of the government in order to help them reduce the high financial burden they incur during compensation for their workers who sustain injuries or die in active service.
