Trafficking of Nigerians: Labour ministry reacts to indictment - Daily Post Nigeria

In a rejoinder, Charles Akpan, Deputy Director of Public Relations, said the ministry in no way breached the relevant provisions of the Labour Act CAP L1 2004.

Akpan said that one of the basic means of implementing the principles of Convention 181 on private employment agencies was their mandatory registration and licencing. Akpan insisted that recruiters are bound by the provisions of the Labour Act with respect to welfare and conditions of work of the worker and the procedures for operating the licence.

He said possession of recruiters’ licence for foreign employment does not guarantee automatic clearance for a recruiter to recruit citizens for work abroad.
