The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged the Federal Government to adopt a National Employment Plan that would engender decent work in the country

NLC President, Mr Ayuba Wabba, made the call on at a Decent Work Round-Table discussion, to mark the 2021 World Day for Decent Work .

“In fact, permanent jobs on daily basis are converted to casuals. Causals means those workers that have no social protection, no rights and in most cases most labour standards are undermined. According to the NLC President, this will further reduce informality in our system by more than half.“Today, we know that the 30,000 minimum wage has been reduced to virtually nothing due to external effects of inflation in our system.

She further said that recent statistics from the International Trade Union Congress indicated that over 200 million jobs were lost to COVID-19, adding that another 100 million workers were at risk of job losses. Ngige, represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Yerima-Peter Tafia, said that there was global economy slump into recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
