Wogu, stated this in Abuja recently while presenting two books, “Compendium of Nigerian Labour Laws and Other Related Laws” and “Guidelines on Labour Laws in Nigeria” to the public.
He noted that the books were a must read for all organisations in the country, saying they contain valuable information that will make it easier for experts and other readers to apply the provisions of Nigeria’s labour laws efficiently for conflict resolution, productivity improvement and socio-economic development.
According to him, the books provide all parties involved in investment and decision-making with relevant labour market information and guidance on the labour laws operational in Nigeria.
He pointed out that ministry’s commitment to professional service delivery has transformed the labour sector with the production of such policies as “HIV/AIDS Workplace Policy; Child Labour Policy; National Productivity Policy; Local Employment Contents Guidelines; Guidelines on the Oil and Gas Sector; Contract Staffing Policy and Regulation on the Use of Elevators and Escalators with Guidelines.”
He added that “our National Policy on Labour Migration has been submitted to the council secretariat while National Entrepreneurship, Skills Development and Social Security Policies are at different stages of development,” noting that the National Employment Policy was being updated with the support of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
