The Federal Government has commenced plans to review the labour laws to make them contemporaneous with what obtains globally and in line with the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, dropped this hint in his office while receiving the Deputy Chief Mission of the United States in Nigeria, Kathleen FitzGbbon and Labour Attaché, Carolyn Parker.
According to the Minister the reviewed labour laws will be sent to the National Assembly for consideration and enactment.
“We are amending our laws to become contemporaneous with what obtains globally. We have done a labour law review. We will send it to the parliament. ILO is assisting us. But we are doing what we can with our own small resources,” Ngige said.
