Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government says it will sanction employers over indecent working conditions that contravene local and international labour laws.<\/p>\n

Mr Simon Lalong, Minister of Labour and Employment, said this during the inauguration of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) III, (2023-2027) on Friday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The DWCP was inaugurated to promote jobs, guarantee rights at work, extend social protection and promote social dialogue.<\/p>\n

The programme was organised by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment in collaboration with the International Labour Organisation (ILO).<\/p>\n

Lalong said decent work deficits had continued to abound in the economy as informal employment has become the norm, while well-paying jobs that offer social protection benefits are the exception.<\/p>\n

According to him, workers in the informal economy are exposed to poor working conditions, low pay, long work hours and low unionism rate, and unsafe working environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as the absence of efficient employment and job creation opportunities and conditions of underemployment, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment is aware of some of these employers\u2019 activities, who disregard the extant labour laws due to the pursuit of profit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis creates work environments that frustrate the attainment of decent work for employers or employees because of the quest for profit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany workers are exploited and make the work very indecent and intolerable conditions, which negate all local and international labour laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cHence, we shall not fail to sanction such organisations and ensure that the rights and privileges of Nigerian workers are protected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
